I saw that too.
My guess is that somewhere along the way someone wrote something inappropriate.
My suggestion is to PM DavidB if you have questions, rather than bring it up here.
For me, the discussion wasn't important enough to care about, so I didn't do that.
There's no point in bringing it up publicly, that's a violation of the rules (and it should be)....
"Posting a thread or reply to a question that criticizes moderator or administrator actions is not appropriate in a public forum. Please utilize the board's Private Message function, or e-mail, if you wish to discuss these issues. As long as you bring up your concerns maturely and civilly to the moderator or administrator in question, we will do our best to address your concerns fairly and promptly."
I know that you're just asking a question, not criticizing, but we've seen this stuff go downhill quickly; let's not let it do that, let's stick to the guidelines provided.
