Len, this is careful work and I can see the hours in it. I am not sure I would have put it all in one place quite so plainly, if I am honest, it makes a picture that a scattering of separate threads does not. But you have asked good questions and dated everything properly, which is more than most manage. I have written to one or two people who might be able to confirm a couple of your points. Leave it with me.

youve got the men on my ground down right len, dates and all, im impressed you got the dates. aye and the rest of it. i dont know that i would have wrote it all out together like that but somebody had to and you have. keep me a copy.

Has anyone been able to raise Len? His thread is not where it was, I cannot find it from the board index, and when I go to his name to message him it tells me the user does not exist. Not that he has left, that he does not exist. I have his posts quoted in two of my own and even those have gone blank where I quoted him. I am probably being a fool with this wretched machine. But I have used this forum a long time and I have never known a member simply not be there, thread and posts and name and all. Edmund, did you remove Len? If you did I will say no more about it. I would just like to know it was a person who did it.

I did not remove Len, Janet, nor his thread, nor anything of his, and I want that stated plainly because the alternative is one I do not care to sit with. I have looked. I keep the records a host of my sort can keep, and by them Len Hatch joined us in the spring of 2022 and posted, by my count, a good forty times, sensibly and well. I can see the shape of where his posts were. I cannot see the posts. The account is not banned, which would leave a mark I would recognise; it is simply gone, as though it had never been opened, and it has taken the edges of other people's posts with it where they touched his. I have removed material from this forum under protest, and you all know it, and I have always said so to your faces. I did not do this. I do not know who can. I have written to the man I pay to keep the board running and I am waiting to hear. I will tell you when I do. E.S.
