Who the hell is Bradd Webb ?

IIRC, he was contributing articles to various (US-based) Amiga magazines in the early nineties.

When Commodore went down under, he started to publish an Amiga newsletter (first "issue" was published three days after CBM's bankruptcy) which was originally just distributed to some people working for the same company as Bradd (again: IIRC). This newslatter was renamed into "Amiga Update" later on.

AFAIK the thing became quite popular over the years. The Archives are available online. I just recently read the old issues from 94-97 once again - quite an interesting read.

If you think that is happening here at all, please say something to another moderator or webmaster. It may seem like an obvious thing to say, or just an automatic "official" response, but I for one thinks that if that were allowed to happen, it would suck considerably,

All my contributions to this thread have been deleted and I don't know who did it.

I'd prefer it if moderators wouldn't just "empty" offensive postings, but at least leave their nick (and a specific reason for deleting the posting).
I know I would be very interested to know why my postins have been deleted (after Targhen replied to them first).

Secondly, my last post was edited and the (unknown) moderator added the remark that "this member is not allowed to post on Amiga.org".
I'd like to get some more information regarding this.

-Edit-

And I'd like to have one question answered that coms up in this conext: what is Amiga.org's official policy regarding Genesi employees contributing to the site? This is no attempt to bash Amiga.org (or individual moderators), I'd just like to know.
