Wine Legs Mar 2015 3:06pm, 19 Mar 2015 3,719 posts	0 Wine Legs I started a thread recently about Binks's book and it's already been deleted... what makes a thread be deleted? There's some really old one still floating around, but I only started this one around a month or so ago... Just wondering.

Badger Mar 2015 4:14pm, 19 Mar 2015 4,838 posts	0 Badger Wonder how long this one will last? The more replies a thread gets, the longer it survives after the last reply before being zapped. I think Fetch posted the exact numbers a while back, though who knows whether that thread has vanished?
