I know, it was old. I saw the date then too I took the action as you saw. It is because new members will see you posting 10 thumbs and I will delete them. Then the question of partiality will come up. Already we face lots of flacks because of no wrong from our end. If there is a precedence that can be shown as a proof of acceptance of rule, it will be bad for us. Please accept, that we have no recourse but to correct our past mistakes. But I kept those links on the thread giving you the credit.
Hope, you understand my position.
It was not to you but for the board.
Best wishes.
