Sorry, but this is wrong. People delete/sanitise posts. Posts get out of order from slow typing. The thread loses its sense of direction...
A short quote is extremely helpful.
Did you just moderate me? See above link above, I won't quote it...
...and you didn't leave the poster's name, whom I was addressing.
