    Yes, agreed. Deleting a first post when you have an answer is a very selfish act. This forum provides an invaluable resource for those seeking help, *providing* the posts are left intact. People respond to questions to help the community, not (just) the OP. In this case the post has been saved, in post #21
    Ex board guide. Signature now changed (if you know, you know).

    For heavens sake
    I deleted MY posts not the thread as I was concerned someone may see it who could cause problems for others concerned.
    I could see that the initial post and others had been 'quoted' so people could still read/see the answers...
    Why does everyone on this forum seem so aggressive just lately??

    I thanked everyone for their comments - but it IS a public forum

    Exactly - it is a public forum, so a little fore thought as to whether it would have caused problems might have been a good idea.

    You also obliterated the title of the thread. How is someone in several months time with a similar issue, browsing the history (or Googling), going to see the relevance of a thread entitled 'thanks for all comments'...?
