Bit of a mistake and missunderstanding on that one. I recieved a private email off rhydidd suggesting an article, I used it as a finished article not realising that it was not. Then when I checked my email the other day he was not too happy that I had put up his email without his permission (which I thought I already had). By the time I had explained myself to him he had deleted all of his posts on the fourm.
It is a bit of a pain, but short of going through 80 odd posts and trying to edit them by memory there is not much that I can do. I guess that forum is a public area and if people want to make a statement by deleting their posts then they may do so.
I just hope that no one else is so rash

hard not to take moves such as that very personaly.
