btw. I read somewhere that this forum software can't delete
threads. That sounds pretty silly. Even sillier if it's true.
The forum software is a frontend for a newsgroup server, which
also backs a mailing list. Although it would be possible to add
a feature to delete posts from the local cache the forum uses,
it wouldn't be something that could be synced across the other
interfaces. Editing is tricky to implement, too.
And because we don't have moderators or require accounts, it's
been longstanding policy here that we're on the honor system
with our posts posts. In order to maintain a healthy
environment and avoid toxic flamewars, politics and religion
are discouraged as topics of discussion.
interesting. thanks for the explanation though.
Politics and religion seem a touchy topic in the U.S.
I guess this where Australians differ a lot with our U.S friends.
Anyway, happy to comply ;-)
God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America..
whoopps.
