Crispus, I have great respect for you and appreciate your sentiments. Collaboration is something I repeatedly sought over the years in threads that I originated. I don't know how many times I asked other members to chip in, add their own pics, keep the thread alive etc, and when others responded, I always tried to thank them. In fact, the collaborate aspects of posting, the social aspects and the exchanges with other members enriched by experience here over the years enormously.
I don't know how much material you lost in my deletions. I didn't check the threads prior. But considering that just about everything you post here is noteworthy, what was lost is a loss to occ. My state of mind last summer was a little unstable, and everything I did I did quickly as it seemed time might be short. It was also unprecedented for me. I was on the verge of removing even more stuff but got some signals from the mods.
But again, I think the pressure on the mods was the key in all this. With unlimited time, perhaps I could have limited what got deleted to just my posts. That was my initial desire.
