What am I doing wrong?

This is only the third time posting here. I don't get to a computer very much. I did check on my first post about a new bike site. But now my post is gone.

I must have done something wrong cause my first post ever was deleted. I guess were not allowed to mention other sites on here. I checked my profile and find that I never posted a message - yet I saw it. Somethings screwy.

So I posted a second time and apologized for whatever mistakes I made. Now that post is gone. What gives?

A friend of mine told me about this 1150 site, and it's nice. I have an 1150, so I thought this would be the place to hang. I'm sure it will be helpful for questions about the 1150, but of course they don't make them anymore. But if every post a guy sends in gets deleated, you could lose a lot of members.

If I'm doing something wrong, just tell me. Deleating my posts is not the way to let me know. E-mail me if I'm really doing something wrong.

Good one, Doug! The wizard behind the curtain does know... Don't suffer the whining children and pranksters...

I checked the IP address you posted. I have no idea where Bensonville, Illinois is. I think your system is a bit screwed-up.

I've seen BobVF's posts, he lives in AZ, not Ill.

If this is how you run your site, I see why people are bailing out.

Oh come on, Bob. Give it up. You're trying to write like a semi-literate hillbilly, yet you are sophisticated enough to check IP addresses, change the default flag from US to Canadian, have a sig line, and search for another user. I seem to recall that Bob FV1 did a lot of travelling in his job as a consultant.

The magic of static IPs.
People are funny when they dont know how technology works and get caught being a dillweed.

Though if the IP is masked, I applaud the ability of a new user with 2 post to have the divine insight to know people are bailing out. However isolated the case that might be.

Locking because this thread is useless.
