Mathcad Planet "chain delete bug"

Question

Mathcad Planet is no more a "collaboratory", just a "Facebook" chat. I would conserve 3 categories

1. Other subjects for non work sheets comments and else

2.. Puzzles & Games as non Engineering stuff

3. "Usage" for all matters concerning Mathcad

In Mathcad, everything is "Usage"

________________________________________________

Zap: twitters, blogs, documents [all the useless stuff].

_________________________________________________

Get enough glue and paper to blank and zap "Trending subjects

and replace by a list of "per collab list of all his work sheets in Planet"

Example: clicking on my name I could see all my work sheets listed

That would ease to link visitors to material already treated.

About the Mathcad Planet "chain delete bug"

Here is:

Jean,

My Mathcad didn't like the colTOL function at the bottom of the page had to change the last line of the program to w[0 instead of w[1.

Thanks Mike, most appreciated.

You mentioned w[0 in colTOL for your Mathcad version. It might very well be a "logical bug" or a "vectorize bug". I can't explain otherwise than in the redesign of the PTC Mathcad version, they didn't account for some commutative rules . As I type this message, the 3rd in this thread, there are then 2 bugs:

1. the Mathcad bug you noted

2. the forum bug.

The forum bug is the same as mentioned before, the "delete bug". Past your (1)"Absolute fantastic...",(2) I replied, (3)you replied about w[0,(4) I replied ....... I deleted my (2) which deleted your (3) & my (4). I call this bug the "chain delete bug". ...What we don't know yet: if in your (3) you had a corrected work sheet, would my delete (2) have deleted the work sheet as well ? Easy to experiment, you reply to this message including that piece of the work sheet that makes colTOL work ... I will then delete this message and check if the work sheet flies in the blue. The greatest worry about the "chain delete bug" is that by correcting, it might make it worse. ... I was reading Lou last night ... several screen scroll by 2" wide . It didn't happened to me yet, but I would fell very insulted if my on-line tutorial would be so smashed .

Interesting that you should be so up in arms about this policy, and yet you were quite willing to exploit it and delete not only your own post but also deliberately delete my reply to it in this thread:

http://communities.ptc.com/message/150750#150750

I agree that allowing uses to delete other users posts under any circumstances at all is a stunningly bad policy, but it is optional. If you delete your own post you do not have to delete all the replies. So if you are so against allowing people to do this then perhaps you should refrain from doing so yourself.

Especially, in the future please refrain from deleting my posts! I would not delete someone else's post, even if I don't agree with what they said or if they pointed out that I was wrong. So I would prefer it if people didn't do that to me.
