I plan to be just as respectful as I've always been.
But perhaps, now that you all know that threads can be deleted (still surprised this is news to you all, but anyway ...) maybe you all will consider being more respectful of other people's efforts in the future. When someone starts a thread, that person can also delete the thread ... so respond accordingly.
