Very good points Ston. Sometimes, the best of intentions can go south (which I believe is what happened here), but I do agree with Michael (in principle) that any changes should be done by the author of the post. He's one guy that's very passionate about his craft and I can certainly understand why he's upset on what happened. At the same time, I personally wouldn't leave a community forum due to that (but, that's just me). I'd definitely get my point across and expect a reasonable resolution to correct the situation.
 
I sincerely hope that Michael returns as his contribution to all of us here is simply invaluable. There's also a valuable lesson we can all learn from this, and sometimes (actually most of the time), spending that little extra time in communicating with each other can be benficial to everyone in avoiding unnecessary situations like this. 
 
We're all good people in here (many different personalities, but good people).......life is too short.......it's time to make amends and move on.
