Hello Gordon, you can't delete her messages or anyone else's messages unless you've deleted your own thread which she has posted on. Has your thread(s) disappeared or have you deleted any?

I don't know what has happened but some people expect quick replies. Do you think this may be the problem? has she deleted her own replies because you did not get back to her quickly enough?

Edit: Did you find the information you needed in the end?

May I may a suggestion Gordon?

If/when you next put up a 'looking for' thread, try to stay on line for say 30 mins. If you then have to go after that time, add another post to it saying that you have to log off but will try to get back tomorrow (or when ever). That way, 'helpers' won't assume that you are reading but ignoring their contributions.

Most of us can see both sides of the situation!
