yesterday, the admins and moderators, made a mess of a good intentioned offer by dozer.
Dozer's post contained an offer to distribute materials. Unfortunately these materials were copyrighted and this website could not allow the offer to stay visible. There are a few standard ways that this should have been handled, but unfortunately were not. The post was moved around a couple of times, for reasons I do not understand, but the end result was several people thinking they were being restricted from viewing the thread because that they lost some privilege.
What should have ultimely happend has now taken place. The thread is now back in its proper place, but deleted. It has been deleted becuase this site can not be part of offers to disribute copyrighted material.
So Dozer, I am sorry that this was not handled properly. We'll try to do better.
