Rex,
I am too am saddened by all of the valuable discussions that were
lost. However, I felt that it was the only reasonable way to respect
the wishes of those who where not aware of their posts being made
public.

At first I thought about only deleting the posts by those members who
requested it, but I quickly realized that often people's posts are
attached to the bottom of replies (like this one) so that those
members posts would still be inbedded within the posts of others.

There seemed, to me, to be no other reasonable course of action. I
guess that just means you are going to have to give us some more
great content :)

Micah
