(cyklone, I recommend to your attention Gerry Spence's book "How to Argue and Win Every Time." I think you would find it useful. I know that I am finding it so.) edina, as I said at the time, I think item *authors*, the people who enter the item into the conferencing system, have the right and should have the power to remove their item at any time, no matter who has responded to it, and when the item is removed, the responses should be removed as well. Therefore, I had no problem with valerie removing her 'baby diary' items. The outrage over her action convinced me that things were different here. So I waited to see what the membership wanted. I also argued for accepting her actions. BTW, I felt that her decision NOT to remove Item 39, when jp2 requested it, demonstrated that my view was not as generally accepted as I expected. The recently approved proposal on item deletions will, in my opinion, forestall a recurrence because it has made explicit what many implicitly accepted and expected.
