Why was my post edited to exclude the permission of the moderator?

I took the quote out as it wasn't necessary, you don't need permission to start a thread or post pics (as long as they are G Rated).

I was never asked to resize since it included a link to steves nova site with the same pics, the pictures were not posted here, I have the pm from the administrator saying it was removed because of content
Either way, I am sure his one will be edited or deleted as comments are made by other members of the site.
Thank you for allowing this thread even if it is short lived

The thread with a link to the Nova site was removed because once you clicked the link it was exactly the same post you had on here before that was closed. I asked you to re-size the pics, and told that's why they were removed from the closed thread. No problem posting the pics and asking for ideas or suggestions how to proceed, just get the pics into the normal 640 by 480 resolution size or similar. The post will not be edited or deleted unless it turns into a vendor bashing thread again.

Life can be quite frustrating, and when any shop or vendor does differently than we expect them to, it can be much more than simply "frustrating." Still, life hands us a lot of choices, and most of them boil down to this one; you must decide whether to use any difficulty in life as either an excuse, or a reason." You turn it into an excuse when you elect to allow a mishap to taint the lens through which you view life. Suddenly every problem is due to incompetence or malice. Life becomes a game where the odds have been stacked against you. You utilize a difficulty as a reason when you turn it into the impetus to excel beyond the original plan and prove to those who doubted that you are actually in control.
You have been handed a plate of sour grapes. I cannot comment as to whether or not the intentions of those who seemingly deceived you were malicious. A quote I often hear from my father-in-law does come to mind however, "never attribute to malice that which can be explained by simple stupidity." Nonetheless, the choice is now yours. Do you utilize your difficulties as an excuse to be bitter, mistrust the intentions of every shop, vendor, and fellow car enthusiast, or do you make it into the key event which spurs you and your project on to a finish far better than originally imagined?
Now that I am finished occupying my soapbox, I have only one question; How can we help?

Brian, I'm moving this into project updates; I think you'll get more responses there as that's where we usually put the build threads.
