[WARP TEN]

I have not experienced this but I certainly agree. No editing by anyone expect the original poster except for violations of forum rules. If a forum moderator or admin person has an issue with a post, it is incumbent upon them to contact the poster directly and discuss it. Do not edit or remove posts without consent or very good reason and, in that case, with an explanation. If you feel as a moderator that a thread is going far off topic you can just close the thread--with explanation--as they do occasionally on the Mid Engine Corvette Forum. This post deletion problem happened to me several years ago on the Corvette Forum. I had posted a question about vendor pricing in a thread and my innocuous question was removed and I was reprimanded for asking it. Apparently in the same thread a number of folks had asked the same question, but an irritated moderator deleted them all (so of course I didn't know it was a problem) and reprimanded everyone for not knowing some obscure rule about vendor pricing. After a terse messaging discussion with one of the moderators, I informed him I would never go back there and I have not. I would hate to have to give up the ZR-1 group after forty years of involvement. --Bob
