If LL was able to expunge all his postings when he chose to leave-- or was asked to-- I have a quibble with Agora too. Seems to me once a posting is made its author gives up ownership and if the posting broke no rules, it should become a permanent part of the Edig Agora archive, available for anyone to refer back to for say, 10 years or "soon", whichever comes first.
I hope he returns. He's intelligent, has a sense of humor, and he's a better speller than many. Good luck to all.
