I just want to say thanks to the helpful mods who went into a few of my old posts and removed certain words from them, which weren't there when I first posted 

If anyone else has similar concerns, all I did was ask nicely, and helped by identifying the posts in question. 

Use the 'search' function, and scan through the results by eye looking for your username. It takes a few minutes to check the posts found but was worth it.

Hmm, making work for themselves now, all rather silly!
