So I guess to answer my question, you would be the one in charge? What is your affiliation with Hot Boat? What can we expect from the magazine and these forums?
I think he's saying he bumped the thread back up from the grave and because of what was posted it was deleted. I don't think he meant to imply that he was able to remove or add threads as a moderator type status.
As for the other comments, I have no comment in a public forum.
