I had entered responses in Valerie's items, too.  Valerie's items were 
linked to parenting, Misti; you could only unlink them from your 
conference.  You couldn't actually delete them from Grex.

Some of my responses were about topics that weren't exactly about Arlo 
and Kendra.  There were no other active items in parenting while 
Valerie's items were there.  Valerie brought up Asperger's Disorder 
last summer, and since I am interested in the topic as well, I created 
an Asperger's item in parenting.  It never got off the ground; the 
discussion all stayed in Valerie's item.

I don't mind much that my responses got deleted with the rest of those 
items.  I doubt if I ever said much of any value.

However... now that the staff has granted Valerie the right to delete 
items she entered, I think there *has been* a policy change, and others 
who want their items deleted should be able to have them deleted as 
well.  The staff shouldn't be debating it internally, or asking the 
Board, or waiting on the outcome of discussion or a user referendum.  
Not now.  The policy *has* changed.

I think, by not accommodating user requests, the staff is in danger of 
making a second policy change.  Staff members are Special People; above 
the rules.
