And how do you expect us to do that, reply in public, when you (collectively, the mods) systematically delete our posts and thus basically ban us? I challenge you to find more than a handful of my posts that are still posted - they are all deleted... even the polite and thoughtful response just now I publicly posted in reply to HHIT's public post to me. He publicly asked me a question, but the mods deem my non-offensive response is not worthy to be read by others???
