Hi,

I am not talking about *thread* removal at all. Just *post* removal (within a thread).

I also have no wish to discuss the merit, demerit or reason for deletion of a post. None whatsoever.

Just whether the action of removal should be recorded. At present when a post is deleted there is nothing to show it was ever there, making the whole thread, but specially the section following the invisible missing post, confusing in the extreme.

So I am suggesting that the *contents* of the post be removed if that is what is wanted/requested/needed, but the original "placeholder" that shows the username and time of posting, should remain to show that a post was made.

That's all....

all the best!
