Fred was a great guy and it seems his account and posts were deleted.
Anyone has any info?

No way. What the.......

Mod Edit: Colin, there is never to be a "night of long knives" again.
Since I am only one of the moderators, sometimes I do not know why certain actions are taken, when they aren't taken by me.. What I can disclose though, is that Dan_T had been removed by purely a technical mistake, and he has been invited back - with hopefully no hard feelings on his part. ~FECC-MECHANIC

Hey where is my nice message to Colin?

Don't worry, I am sure he archived it!

Interesting.

So Dan_T is Freddy F, and there was a night of the long knives after all??

Nope, Dan_T isn't Freddy.. And no.....

Ah - 'nice' messages to me are frowned on around here.............. say I'm 'huffing & puffing' or call me the 'forum scold' and you'll be on safer ground..........

Thanks for the explanation, Jordan, I hope Dan-T comes back !

Are you reinstating his posts ?

Unfortunately, the backup containing the forum posts had been overwritten with a new backup (the backups "roll over" weekly) and unfortunately when all this occurred was the day the "roll over" took place.

Well it was not that nice.

You are what you type .........

Bingo!

All of the threads where Freddy posted look funny now, because people answer posts that no longer exist!

I don't get why you deleted thou, since it was not an insult or anything but ...oh well...

God forbid though you say he's "slipping", then you have to run zig zagedly because he can't make course corrections quick enough (like a T-Rex in an upcoming movie)

I agree with Francesc. A banner telling him to be nice would have been more appropriate in my humble opinion

... call me the 'forum scold' .........

BWAHHAA...I just lost half a cup of coffee up my nose! Pot....Kettle.....

The spelling is Robbie's !

No offense to Bobby Burns, but I do prefer Joe South's phrasing.

The sentiment's appropriate, though.

Well, I must say that I don't know anything about what has happened, but . . . . . .

Two members whom I miss (& this MB is poorer for their absence):

- Kris P.

&

- Freddy (Shazam) Freeman

I reckon they suspected Freddy was one of the banned former members.

Around here you are guilty until proven innocent.

I liked Freddy.

I liked Freddy.

Me too.

Me three.

No idea if he was one of the gang of 4, but he seemed like a pretty inoffensive chap.
