Pprune Pop thanks for the information. Actually I was well aware of the role that a Moderator undertakes. I've edited enough magazines to know all about the problems of excluding potentially offensive or defamatory comments, thanks very much.
My point was that some posts on this thread have reportedly been removed without reason in the past, and I was locked out of the thread at one stage without any explanation. That isn't moderation - that's someone with an axe to grind in my opinion.
Anyway ' nuff said.
