Earlier I posted about editing posts and I wanted to apologize to the administrators. I didn't realize that there was an alternate forum that posts about certain things could be discussed (sensative issues). I really do think you folks do a great job, sorry for confusion.

:o :o :o :o

Yeah, we all get upset when post are edited or deleted. It's a difficult balancing act and for the most part the mods do a great job. ;)

:::: Dino wraps a loving tail around Nokia ::::

Nokia, no problem. It was a tough day for all of us. As Sly says (Sly is one of the moderators) it is a difficult balancing act. Even the moderation team doesn't always have 100% agreement on how to handle some of these situations. The senseless loss of a member of the hiking community hits us all hard - moderators included. We are real live human beings and members of the hiking community.

Unfortunately, I have some idea what Meridith Emerson's family is going thru right now. I have lost a two-year-old child of my own (leukemia) and lost a dearly-loved adult step-child to senseless violence. We went thru several days of wondering if he was alive before his body was found. No matter how hard I try not to let my own experiences affect how I see things that are posted, it does.

In total agreement with what Dino and Sly have said. We are human, and I know I only try to do what I feel is in the very best interest of this site and its members at all times (whether they feel that way or not...LOL). I know I can't make everyone happy all the time, that's impossible.

Thank you Nokia for the apology, don't worry about it. :)
