<HTML>Let's all remember that the registration, email addresses, and editing of posts was a result of people who were making disrespectful comments under false names because they themselves knew they weren't proud of what they were saying. Deletion of posts is sometimes necessary if the forum provider might be questioned about the validity/slanderous nature of comments allowed on a site. I personally love the freedom offered by these MB's, and the incredible opportunities that it can provide to those of us doing research in this or any other field.
This "freedom", as with all freedoms, carries with it a modicum of responsibility. I would hate to see this board turn toward such control devices because some people were unable to remain civil. However, I wouldn't blame Kat or anybody else if they DID institute such controls for the EXACT reasons I cited above. (anything else would be censorship).
Welcome, Will. Look forward to reading more of your posts here.
Yours,
