This is just a stupid mod guys. He's trying to "clean up" the thread by deleting what he has deemed irrelevant posts. He should have locked it and left it at that.
Do not attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. -Hanlon's razor
Deleting the unrelated posts from 2014 = stupidity
Deleting the on-topic, conversational post from 2010 = malice
The heads up that at least one BTT mod is willing to go out of his way to erase historical posts between bytemaster and Satoshi = priceless
*I, for one, would
love to read whatever threads may exist within the mod/admin subforums on BTT regarding Bitshares.
