No apologies needed ah147. As I alluded, it's a function of a limited communication medium.
I had a comment deleted some time ago, by one of the Admin. Nothing too shocking about that. However on questioning why, I recieved a very polite message explaining the deletion. That is good. The message wasn't hectoring or treating me like a naughty child, it simply explained the reason for the deletion.
That has not always been the case. And it represents, in that case at least, an improvement.
