Message: Emoticon Listing HTML Help	[quote]The tidy up I commenced properly a couple of months ago is now complete. The only bad news (for me) is that I really need to start again in the non-too-distant future, rather than allowing the site to reach the stage where another tidy up is as mammoth a job. With the odd exception, no-one seems upset about the process, and I firmly believe that the site is just as informative today as it was when I started weeding (in fact more so). In total some 1700 messages have been deleted since the site began - most of these, though by no means all, have been in the last two months. (A few, totally inappropriate posts, have been deleted in the past as soon as I have found them, and some users have, of course, also deleted their own posts from time to time.) The plea from me is that users should not enter posts in the first place if they are likely to be weeded in the future. If a post does not add anything to the overall subject, then it will eventually be weeded. We are all guilty of putting the odd one on, such as where we thank someone for an item they have posted - why not send them an email of private message thanking them instead. Anyway, I can relax a bit now. Thanks for everyone's continued support. When I first set this site up, I never imagined it would get anything like as much use as it does. Robert [/quote]
