 I think that makes it appear as if users are down.  Maybe they have all gone to facebook and other less 'moderated' forms of communication.  This is a pita you know.  I'm not even 100% sure if I've said anything here that is not allowed or will be deleted.  In that way I am often unlikely to post due to the fact that my time spent trying to participate may just be completely wasted.  I don't really have that much time to just chuck out the window like that.  

I've never deleted any of your posts. In fact I haven't deleted much of anything in a while now, except for some random spambot posts. I try to only get rid of the hostile stuff that sounds like arguing. Been trying to make it a point for people to express themselves freely on any issue as long as it doesn't devolve into arguing and hostility. haven't seen much of any of that in a good bit now, which is nice.
