I learn many new things and ideas, here in the forums. Mostly from continuing discussions- at least prior to some recent posters- but even then, other players made valid attempts to logically explain why or why not a point was valid, or enforceable, or even logical when looking at the whole picture. Just because it doesn't play out like an OP wants it to play out, is not a reason to delete all the posts. There is an OP, and then there are all the Other Posters with good arguments- which is what debaters call rebuttals or supporting documentation- that are interesting, a new way of looking at some of the game mechanics for many of us, and very valid to game play as we all experience it moving through the eras. Not a good precedent to have deleting every post in a thread.
