I don't mind contributing where I can, but I prefer it to be for the communities benefit, not someone's 'selfish' gain. I'm sure others may benefit, now or in the future, in some way, from all those that contributed to that thread or any thread for that matter. Threads being removed for no apparent reason doesn't sit well with me. If there was some sort of infringement on forum rules then that should be dealt with in the thread. Posts can be addressed but removing threads!? it's a total disregard to the time those that contributed, have taken. I must be honest, I'm hesitant to make further contributions to requests for help if there's a possibility of my contribution being removed. Maybe my perception of what a forum is differs from the values or principles of RO.

Thanks for the reply though, Jeff. Appreciate it.
