Every time I adopt a board, I do a full board clean up including editing subjects. I never notify, or attempt to notify the posters of those old posts. I only notify authors of *new* posts of edits. Rarely do I receive any type of response. Of those few responses, 99.99% are "thanks I didn't know that". In the five years I've been adminning, there have been 3 or 4 complaints out of some 700 messages sent to authors. However, remember the Community Guidelines state: "We reserve the right to delete messages that violate our Acceptable Use Policy, move messages posted in the wrong place and **edit the surname field, subject line, etc. in any message. We reserve the right to do any of the above without notice** in order to preserve community integrity and ensure that people can find what they're seeking." (emphasis added) Dan
