Whom is this "Moderator who tampers with your posts Kevin and does not reply to your reasonable questions?
One of mine was adjusted and I reported it to the moderator with a question about it and got no reply either.
I am getting the feeling that I am not welcome here with my intellligent helpful postings on technical topics! Perhaps the unidentified person who runs this site only wants the rubbish comments that are made by the likes of Traineegasman!

there are several moderators, but when we change some thing we leave a note like this one, the alert moderators button messages can not be replied to

You can email [email protected] if you have a query and hopefully we can answer your questions/concerns.
NB. Posts are not usually removed unless they are abusive or contain advertising.

In that case why has the thread in plumbing on CON MEN been locked without any explanation please?
Also why are these "moderators" totally anonymous? Normal responsible people are identified by their names like I am!

the post "con men" does have an explanation as to why it was locked (it was also put there when it was locked)
My point was, "He who pays the piper, names the tune".
Someone, somewhere, is paying for webspace/bandwidth to host this forum, and probably other overheads for it's maintenance. I, on the other hand, have not paid a blind cent towards it's upkeep. I consider it a privalage to put in my twopenny worth, without even paying two pennies. As such, I wouldn't presume to dictate what is, or is not, acceptable on this site.
As for anonymity. Don't you realise that practically every wierdo on the planet has access to internet nowadays. It is common sense to maintain a level of privacy in any public domain.
Doing a quick search of "tony glazier" on Google I get 620 results. So you are not actually giving too much away, are you? If I scoured through your posts, I might be able to get a clue as to which part of the country you come from. A bit more analysis and I'd probably get an idea of your age.
There are databases out there, available for trawling electoral registers. If I were to get one of these, I could probably work out exactly where you live. If I can do it, a real psychopath could (getting paranoid yet?).
Unfortunately my name is a bit more exclusive. Google just comes up with "Did you mean..." To my knowledge there is only one other person in the world that shares my name (and he lives in South America). Anyone armed with my name, and town of residence, could track me down in less than 10 minutes. (and no, I'm not famous, just unique
).
