lawsonmugs, I suggest that you private message PatriceJ and ask her where you should list a BOW that you'd like to discuss with members on the Board. Maybe let her know that it's being offered for free like the previous BOW created by the same woman, and that Board members enjoyed sharing their progress on the previous BOW by the show of more than 1000 posts. I think PatriceJ has authority for giving correct info about posting threads. I suggest you also tell her who deleted your post, in case she might like to investigate that.
I have been discouraged when my threads were deleted after I had carefully read instructions and rules regarding where and what to post. Sorry to hear you had a problem too...
