The controversial topics around K&T 14 that briefly disappeared have been restored to their former glory in the Interchange. They remain locked as per Randy Hees' original decision.

This will be my last act as a moderator (or administrator) of this site. I am requesting that my account be stripped of moderation and administration privileges. There are several reasons for this:

a. For a variety of reasons I no longer feel that I can adequately perform the duties incumbent upon a Site Admin, and I am spectacularly dubious about my skills as a moderator.

b. I no longer enjoy my responsibilities to this site. For a comprehensive discussion of this lack of enjoyment you may refer to a post entitled 'Rant' that I posted some years ago. I no longer believe that my approach to this site, and its moderation have any validity in the current day.

c. I believe that I will still enjoy using RyPN as an ordinary user/poster. Age and infirmity have sapped a portion of my energy (while not, apparently, impairing my intellect) and I prefer to expend my energies on my own website.

d. I believe that I have adequately fulfilled my responsibilties to Hume Kading, who despaired of RyPN's future and was contemplating shutting it down, about 13 years ago. David is a wonderful host for the site, now and I'm sure he will carry on nobly.

Have a truly great day. And thanks for all the fish.

So who was originally responsible for deleting the threads? Not locking them, as you mentioned that was Randy Hees, but the entire deletion of multiple threads.
