Am I alone in regretting this?
We appear to be eroding one of the most valuable assests of the group
- its history, and the very real chance of being able to find a
solution by searching instead of by posting.
I wonder if a poster who chooses this mode could explain why they do ?
When the OP's post disappears, then it is really crazy.

This applies to all groups, of course; I post it here as a regular and
grateful reader and an occassional poster.

I take your point Rob, a lot of people withdraw their posts, I'm not
too sure why. There are many posts that I have made in the past and
wished I hadn't but looking back, at the time, the posting was apt,
things and people move on though, fortunately.
