Hi, this is why I am getting confused.  I know I cannot remove a post in the middle of a thread without removing the other posts from other people with it.  Someone on this list yesterday said when this has happened to them they asked "'staff" to remove just the one posters post without removing the others and were successful.  I have 89 of these so far. As I said earlier I did email rootsweb so I will wait for the reply.  Thanks all. Robin :) ________________________________ From: "JYoung6180@aol.com" <JYoung6180@aol.com> To: boards-admins@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, September 14, 2009 1:03:01 PM Subject: Re: [BAd] Request to delete "all" posts No matter who removes a post in the middle of a thread or that has replies  attached to it -- the posts following the removed post that are attached to it  will also be removed unless they are moved to a new place on the same (or if  applicable to a different) board before the deletion is processed.

I emailed messageboards@rootsweb and told them  the poster wanted all her posts removed.  Is that all I need to do?  And do I leave her objections alone so staff can handle it? Those are my  questions.  Sorry if I was  unclear.
