Over the years, very few posts have actually been deleted. Perhaps a few more have been edited. This is normally because they contain offensive material and are often insulting to other members.
Religion, politics and sexuality issues often raise the most steam, not ships! We prefer not to moderate any posts at all, but there does reach a point when we have little choice.
I know Joe has been doing a little house-keeping recently. Maybe he has deleted a few posts. I do not know why.
I believe Joe is out of the office for a few days, but I’m sure he will be only to happy to discuss his actions, when he returns.

Commodore,
When I read your post I could not understand what you were asking about? The way it was worded was so confusing I deleted the post.
Do you really want people to tell you which shipyard is their favorite? I'm not sure many people can even name a shipyard, much less a favorite one.
If that is what you want to know you are welcome to repost in Technically Speaking as the participants in that forum might be able to offer an opinion.
As a general comment, I think some folks here are getting carried away with the "favorite" theme. We have an annual survey - coming next month - that tracks most of this information on a regular basis.
A word of advice, anyone asking about favorite cruise ship carpet manufacturer runs the risk of getting their post yanked.

In my opinion, only one cruisetalker makes a big deal about other people's sexuality.

Today, I picked up the book "Empress of Britain".40,000 tons, built 1930 and sunk 1940 by combined Condor and U boat attacks.
A good read and lots of great photographs of a classic liner.
To the point. Page 26 shows the Mayfair Lounge. It states;- " The carpet, woven in Persia, was a 16th centuryPolish design."
I believe that this is well worthy of discussion by our resident panel of experts.
Please dont yank this one.

My favourite happend a few years back when joe dared to post his picture. Somebody replied with the simple statement; "You ugly son of a bitch"!
Joe set a record for the fastest deletion of a post! I could not help finding this funny.
Best, Onno

Now that is open for debate!
(Sorry newer members, none of this will make any sense!)
