Ladynimue, No offense meant, but an invitation to go have drinks usually means something to celebrate... and I see nothing to celebrate in this thread. Losing the members who contribute and help and answer questions, no matter what their background, experience, or other business, hurts. Every loss hurts. Why don't you moderators privately ask a member to edit his/her own post in cases like this? That way the discussion can continue without holes. This also treats the member with respect and implies that they are trusted to act responsibly given the reminder. If the member can't edit the post because of replies, then nicely ask "Would you rather that we remove the link or do you wish to delete the post and repost it without the link?" If the poster had provided the link to save typing out information, this response to the problem allows them to reword their message. Given that naked women in cages are sold in the Marketplace, this problem will come up again and again in the Forums. Establishing a graceful procedure which doesn't slap down people until they deserve it would be beneficial. Carolly
