Never the less...when I checked the archives....I found that it has been removed from the archives. What's going on? Bye for now, Kathleen Kathleen- We are not going to be able to answer that question for you. Archives removal requests can be initiated (requested) by anyone but they can only be completed in one of two ways--either by the poster or by staff (usually by request of the initiator via the HelpDesk). Sometimes a perfectly innocent post is removed that is in the middle of a thread being removed at someone's request--perhaps you quoted a post that the author has requested be removed and also requested your quote be removed. It is possible that the HelpDesk can answer your question--but your fellow board admins cannot. Joan
