I guess I would have interpreted the e-mail more along the lines of, “oops, I forgot to do this, how do I fix it.”
But I'm belaboring the point, and for that, I apologize.
It is better to treat newer posters with more benefit of the doubt, although my own view is that nine days or nine weeks might be a period that would engender significantly more leeway, but nine months is almost a veteran.
“Neverthless, what is done is done.”
That's true.
I guess as someone who has been posting here for a little while, I've become attached to the idea of “thread integrity.” I have no problem with moderators excising clearly offensive or inappropriate posts, and in fact, advocated this for a long time before Jim Robinson finally concluded that it was a good idea after all.
But the level of snips in this thread really hurts its thread integrity.
Oh well. There are worse things in the world.
