I don't think your being confrontational at all!!!
I believe in some strange circles, this is called a discussion.
And you did get it right, I was using you and your as in the royal you and yours. Everyone, not you specifically.
As for the Kazaa thread, I never read it. (So I can't comment on it)
But just a quick note, sometimes PPRuNe gets emailed from some very powerful people who request that certain threads are removed immediately because they violate some copyright/liable/defamatory law. And believe it or not, sometimes they are actually taken down because the points made are valid.
What I'm trying to get at, is sometimes threads are taken down for more than just the obvious Mod who seems to be power tripping. That's an extremely rare thing around here, since the other mods keep us all in line. It's like a group beating. A mod can't really close a thread without a lot of agreement going on.
At least in principle.
Hey
happens.
Hope this enlightens things a bit.
P.S. When I do get to meet you at a PPRuNe bash one day TCS, I'll buy you a beer, but only if you promise to be confrontational.
