Why was the thread deleted...

... that LH started about newspaper editing? I didn’t see much controversy in it, and anyway if you dish it out, you gotta take it back - and wasn't it in the Doghouse anyway?

Karen, you normally send PM’s to the people who post on threads that get deleted, but not this time, and I’m not sure whether you or LH deleted it, but I spent some time thinking about an answer and replied, and I even took time looking up words I wasn’t sure about. There were quite a few replies from others, as well. I might as well not have wasted my time!

PS. Phred sent me a msg. to post this. ;)

I deleted it.

It was intended to be a post about professional standards, which kept devolving into a discussion about forum posts.

We have plenty of those threads floating around here, we don't need another.

(And as I hit the delete button, Phred popped into my head)
