Jim & Shannon - thank you both for your efforts, I do believe if that change is made, it will be a definite improvement to the benefit of everyone. There is such an abundance of these discussion boards that, to be rather frank, I just didn't have much of an incentive to follow-through on facilitating any changes there.
It is a pretty refreshing format and kudos to Scott for pulling it off. Might be a case of it becoming so successful so fast, that these kinds of kinks will just have to be resolved as they present themselves.
Jim - that's funny, what you said! The irony is that part of what I'd said that was deleted was regarding adapting an attitude that everyone is expendable, easily replaceable. (I didn't use those exact words). I consider myself QUITE expendable - the absolute opposite of "needed". It's that perspective that keeps the fires burning, always trying to be better, more valuable, and more professional. I do think you learn a lot going through the 'corp. machinery' - and that 'expendable/replaceable' perspective is key to succeeding inside that. I think there's a lot of common ground between 'corp.' success and independent success. STILL - thanks for the compliment, and let me know if/when the protocol changes over there.

| I passed along your complaint to see if he (Scott) will respond by fixing it. There seems to be alot of good positive input over there from Notaries. Let's see if they are also willing to adapt and accept criticism to improve...... |

I think you should contact Scott about this. It seems to me you have a valid point. I did not realize this. I was under the impression only the person making a reply could delete it. |

I had a rather negative consequence in my experience with that site. I had posted a response to someone who had asked a question (and asked for other opinions, fwiw), under the "Forum" column.
I didn't know this, but apparently the person who posts the 'lead' question (the heading you're replying to)has the ability to delete any responses that follow. In my situation, the person who'd posed the question deleted my response. When they did that - it left my name & picture where my post HAD been, and showed "This post has been deleted."
Below that, the person who'd deleted it offered their explanation for WHY they'd deleted it, having (IMHO) misunderstood the gist of my message and taking it in a rather negative way.
Well - this leaves readers wondering "Geez, what the heck did this Renee person SAY, to have been so objectionable that it was deleted?!" I did NOT want to set myself up like that for all the assumptions that people could make about it! In fact, I found the act of deletion to be about as negative a response as anyone could make. The person who deleted this went on to state that she had the right to delete anything on her "personal blog" - and I would agree, however, this was NOT her "personal blog", it was a community forum and labeled as such.
What really upset me is the way information can be 'engineered', given this ability to delete things you don't want shown, in response to something you might say. For example, if a person says "I do this" and 8 people say "that's not correct" and 3 people say "I do that too" - you could delete anyone who doesn't AGREE with you, and leave only those who do agree. Anyone reading would assume "everyone agrees".
Perhaps, having written for newspapers in the past I'm a little more sensitive to 'engineering' information but I found this utterly unacceptable.
I immediately deleted my profile - went back the next day (by re-registering) and was relieved to see that when I deleted myself, it also deleted my name/photo 'marker' for the deleted post. I then RE-deleted my profile and will not be visiting again.
