That's one of the greatest misconceptions about me... erasing 'everything'.

health and ongoing appeal of this general forum as is an orientation to and cheerful acceptance of RHP Authority by all of its members.
It's not some kind of herd bound popularity contest, Phlab. So for God sake remain principled, stay strong willed and smile anyway.

The main reason why I am not a paying member of this site any longer is because of heavy handed, fanatical and ridiculously misguided moderation.
