Gemma, very seldom do I respond to a thread outside of my assigned forums, but in this case I feel I must.
In the case of your remark on this thread

Yes, you were the one pointed out on it. Your reply to my request via PM was quick and compliant with the request. For that I do thank you.
That you seem to have a problem with it, which is demonstrated by your starting of this thread, is understandable.
Now one point you have to understand is that, when you joined ECCIE and agreed to the Terms of Service, you did agree to help all of us to make sure that all posts that you make are in compliance with the guidelines put forth by the owners of ECCIE.
Terms of Service:
http://www.eccie.net/misc.php?do=tos
Forum Guidelines:
http://www.eccie.net/announcement.php?f=5
The stated purpose of ECCIE is to exchange information within the hobby world, but to also stay within the guidelines that the owners have put forth. To make sure that the guidelines are followed is only one of the reasons for moderator intervention. There are many other things that take place behind the scenes that are within our realm of responsibility.
Please, do not feel you are being singled out, because you are not!
Many times, things seem to slip under the radar, so to speak, only to be caught a few days, or in your case a few months, after the fact.
We all depend on each other to make ECCIE a safe and dependable place. If someone notices something that they believe is not in compliance of the guidelines, please, by all means, use the RTM button and report it! It does, on occasion, mean a false report, but we all feel better having 100 things reported that are in compliance than the one thing that is not reported.
Thank you all for your time this afternoon
The Colonel
