Well, Mr Orans (I assume this is your actual name and not some adolescent reference to T.E Lawrence, or '338' as Noel Coward preferred), I have a question. Immediately downstairs from this string is a photograph of Dandy Don. A couple of weeks ago Don thanked me for some information I posted regarding headcoverings for divers with bald spots who wished to avoid sunburn on these spots. He and others seemed to be using cotton headscarfs. I suggested swim caps of the easily stored Lycra type, which work just fine, do not absorb water, and fold to about the size of a postage stamp.
For some reason that post of mine has vanished. The related 'thank you' also disappeared from my profile.
Was there some reason for this that you are able to reveal? In any event, to simply delete the post, DD's reply, etc, without a brief note letting me know that I had somehow transgressed board rules seems rude. It may be that someone with a delete key simply does not like swim caps. It is certainly their prerogative to remove offensive material of this kind.
Whatever the reasons may be, it was done in an extraordinarily crass and impolite manner. I am reminded of the old Soviet Encyclopedia's revised editions. Do you also crop photographs, in order to remove persons or things you deem undesirable? I don't really care about the post, and am well used to deletions. I mention the incident because you asked for feedback: "How are we doing". See if you can infer my evaluation.
