BillB explained in the final post..
"petty sniping" is his reason..
we keep things calm and cordial, here, as you should know..

bill, thanks for the answer, but that was the question what he meant with "petty sniping" ?
as a non-english-native speaker i dont know all expressions....

From dictionary.com:
petty:
4. mean or ungenerous in small or trifling things: a petty person.
sniping:
6. to attack a person or a person's work with petulant or snide criticism, esp. anonymously or from a safe distance.

i can understand if he deleted something like this but why has been the thread locked, i mean we were just in a middle of a conversation of a problem....?

perhaps if you PM BillB he will unlock the thread..
it is not good form for me to over-ride those who donate their time to help out..
then get the thread rolling again without sniping..
if it had been me i would have just deleted the offending post..
