There is no reason to take exception to my comments, but if you choose to, you will.

If theres no reason to then I won't, but also realize that my interpretation was not wholly unlikely.

What type of patch is required to allow a monk to choose to remove his or her content?

A reasonable amount of work would have to occur. First off there is the impact on existing threads, second off there is the means of handling it. Do we nuke them? Do we update them? Or what? There a lot of types of node here, handling them all is not super-difficult, but nor is it trivial. Overall I'd say that if someone solved the technical problems (which implies answering the questions i pose) then wed have a good basis for a debate as to how it would/should work. But until then I suspect its a debate wed prefer to avoid as we dont really want to write that code as there are more important things to do. But if it were presented to us outright I doubt we'd just ignore it.

I applaud your recent efforts, along with all those of the other active PMDevers, and all those that have gone before too. I have bever found fault with you for what you have done, nor anyone else for that matter.

Ok, fine. Just remember we have feelings too and that harmless words sometimes arent. :-)
