Testing the Forum

I have sent two tests to the forum administrators, using the box that says "Alert us." Each time, I used my real name and email address. First, I asked about gaston street's post this morning about deletions - I said that I had no problem with the post, but wanted to know why the other posts had disappeared. Then I sent one alerting them to the next posting - from the reputed stevereed. Again, I said in my message that I was just testing to see if sending the alert meant the posting were automatically deleted. It was not deleted.

Conclusion - deletions are not automatic, but occur with the intervention of someone at PennLive, for reasons unstated and unknowable except to him or her.
