In this very forum, someone once accused me repeatedly of being dishonest because I always edit my posts (for style as well as typos). The more I tried to explain it had nothing to do with covering anything up, or with backpedaling or changing my opinion, the more he seemed to revel in insisting that I was a lying sack of buttock lint.
Just as I'd have hoped this total stranger would give me the benefit of the doubt, so I'm willing to think the best of anyone who deletes the text of their post on Mobileread.
If I'm no longer privy to the content of the OP, then I must assume someone had good reason to delete it. And if someone rewords their post, I'll assume it was either for readability or tact, both of which are, in my incredibly humble opinion, noble causes.
