    I don't usually do that as I find it annoying too but, clearly, I'd got it wrong in the first place. Didn't really need everyone coming along and answering the same question several times as people do on forums.

    A bit overboard PM'ing me saying how 'rude' it is though :/

    It is bluddy rude though. People have taken the time to help you, and now it can't help others.

    Put the post back.

    I bet it's not as exciting as it now sounds.

    Fairly easy to work out from posts 2 and 3
    One important thing to remember is that when you get to the end of this sentence, you'll realise it's just my sig.

    Erm, no, I won't put the post back if you're going to 'demand' I do it :S

    And those coming late to the party can't learn from your mistake without understanding what it is that you got wrong.

    That's all that needs to be said, instead of people overreacting, PM'ing me angrily and accusing me of being 'rude'.

    The post was just a picture of a box of new washing powder (opened) and a sentence asking if this was an acceptable amount, as it was basically half full.

    The image was linked from a temporary image hosting site, hence why I removed the post before the picture became no longer available.

    It's not that serious, and I would appreciate if people took the time to explain what the problem is, like you did, instead of just unproductively complaining.

    I was right!

    Yes, really nothing important at all. I didn't realise it goes by weight and thought it was ludicrous that the box was only half full. Was going to go full steam ahead and complain but thought I'd check out if I was actually in the right before I wasted my time!

    Again, apologies if some people are upset that they didn't get to see my original post, but it was a brief, unimportant post with a picture linked from a temporary hosting site :p
