thanks for responding, unfortunately just my posts

but as a seasoned poster yourself, do my posts look like they might in any violation ?
I personally cannot see anything wrong with them - unless they were posted in a thread that was talking about something else and they were off topic. It is more likely that they were mistakenly deleted. I'll quote the post in another thread on meta and see if I can get an answer for you.
LOL - I even agree with your opinion on the electric cars.
