A post to the PEED board was deleted and the poster emailed me (the admin) asking why on earth I removed his post from the board. I replied that I had no memory of deleting it nor should I, as it is a fine message and I do not have a heavy hand with my boards' delete option. I have since restored his post to the board: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=message&r=rw&p=surnames.peed&m=120 After having read it several times, the only reason I can assume it was automatically deleted was because of the mention of "findagrave" in the URL. I am an active contributor to Findagrave.com/ and I once--but no longer--shared links from that site to various surname boards, until I noticed they were ending up in the Recycle Bin (on my own boards) or disappeared from other boards. I ventured a guess it was due to the potential commercial nature of Findagrave (although still a free site dependent upon volunteer submissions). Yet when I do a global board search for "findagrave" I get thousands of hits. That blows my old theory as to why my own posts were deleted. Would someone please tell me why the above PEED post might have been deleted? Thank you. Scratching my head, Sandy
