This entire thread, started by a moderator was intended to be about the something other than the electrical industry. It's about the members of this forum so it does have merit as far as the moderators are concerned and therefore it has been allowed to continue.
Regarding moving/deleting posts and threads, it's the job of the moderators, along the guidelines of this forum's owner, to see that the rules are followed. These are highly subjective on the part of the moderators and are usually carried out after consultation. As always if someone feels that they are or have been treated unfairly they can always make their concerns known to any moderator through the PM function.
Sorry for going off on a the tangent but sometimes these things need to be spelled out so we're all on the same page.
