The net is qualititatively different to paper. It costs money to publish paper books and journals. Hence one of the needs to editing though there are others. The marginal cost of all those "valueless" posts is negligible. Hence the points a I made acouple of posts back.
However sensible and wise the editors are in culling posts at UKVRR I make the point that it's waste of time and effort which could be usefully spent on other things. Remember that one of the consistent problems expressed by Paul and the moderators is that they lack the time to do this or that.
