Hi all, I agree. Thanks to Ben for keeping things focussed on what we come here for....guitars and gear. I don't know what was posted and deleted, but if it Was on guitars and gear it would still be here.
Cheers Taff

I saw the post in question and think you handled it appropriately Ben.  It's a shame all the way around, but we can recreate the important info and carry on...

Even though I have zero interest in induction pickups or negativity of any kind it bothers me that some folks find things to quibble about on a site like this. I missed the post that prompted this but I support your decision Ben, and I know the person in question has been the focus of problems in the past even though he's always been a friend to me. Still, keeping things positive and helpful is extremely important when it comes to welcoming new folks eager to learn. Let's keep things going in a direction that welcomes and encourages rather than argues and disparages. My tongue in cheek assessment is that pickups and amps lead to argument and acoustic instruments lead to harmony!
