lol eccles.....which thread was it?
The most annoying part of a removal is that one has often 'invested' a few minutes of precious time only to see it cast aside with what can appear as contemptuous disdain at times.
From what I have seen, and a guess I admit, I would say that way over a third ought to stay - and then the other thing that seems to have been forgotten is the chance to remove an offending item/s and not the whole thread where several end up feeling frustrated and, sometimes, downright annoyed, having made contributions in good faith.
