Randy... Im sorry but Im afraid I have to report that Im now getting
insult added to injury.
A moderator from the Community Forum is now asking me to "thank" him because another moderator had actually
deleted my thread....

So according to this moderator, I actually have to thank him for "only" locking/closing my thread.
Please note that this shows what sort of operating procedures the moderators are using.... it seems my thread was deleted and nobody told me.... unless of course the official story will be that it was deleted but then 'rescued' by the other moderator... hence there was no time to inform me that my thread had been vanished.
Still.... its strange that after the kind of moderation that this thread shows exists... some moderators have the nerve to send me PMs complaining about my dislike of their actions.... and then (in a second PM - after seeing that Ive posted my disgust here) actually telling me "the next time" they will act like the other moderator.. as in the one that deleted the thread.
Seems like the Sherrifs badge has gotten to some folks....
