FLYBOY,

There is a slight "glitch" in the system that deletes the entire thread, and it is being worked on, as we speak. you are right, for the moment, the best course is to LOCK a thread, unless the content is WAY beyond the rules.....and there have been a few in the last few days.

We are close to a resolution on the delete structure, and be assured, that NO one is MORE concerned than the Moderators....!
