OK, I'm largely supportive of everyone here, but something happened today which was TOTALLY uncalled for.
A forum post was put up by Admin M indicating that the forum was being shut down for maintenance. The date given was 8/3/11. Being non-American, I immediately read that as "8th of March" and so mistakely assumed it was an out of date post.
Anyway, once I realised my mistake, I put a comment under the post clarifying the situation for the (large) number of non-Americans here.
For no apparent reason Admin M promptly deleted my post.
What earthly reason was there for deleting it?
And why use such an ambiguous date format when you have such a large international audience?
Very weird, and frankly, unhelpful behaviour.

<edit> Retracted - This was clearly an over-reaction on my part and I have since retracted my complaint.
