OK, I've reinstated the DOB but kept the age and year hidden so that Leinske does not age anymore. I've removed his email so that his family are not distressed by any communications from this forum. The rest stays as-is.

As for edits... since justification seems is required...

1. One thread was pruned. It was goddam embarassing. Everything of a technical nature was kept, but most of the more serious slagging between participants was removed. That in itself removed about 50% of the posts. In six months time, everyone concerned would be wishing they hadn't posted what they did... as far as this forum is concerned it didn't happen and we can all move forward as born-again friends.

2. A second thread was ammended to ensure original authors rights were recognised as the way it originally appeared made it look like it was all the exclusive work of one participant only. After pruning one thread, last thing I wanted is to waste time having the same thing happen a second time around.

3. A number of posts along with their originators were permanently deleted for posting spam.

Which of the above do you particularly object to?
