Hold on, folks. As far as I can tell, none of Erik's posts were deleted. This seems to be either a mistake or a deliberate lie. Certainly I have no knowledge of this. I am checking into the matter. I have been unable to access that part of the archives, so I cannot see if there are any messages missing.

Please don't jump to conclusions before checking the facts.

Thanks,

Max
