How is it that Geoff Hall's original post is not visible as a "message deleted by poster?"
Having the capability to COMPLETELY remove evidence of a bad post would be a nice trick for a guy like me.

Short answer: I removed it.
Long answer: The reason for the "message deleted by poster" tag is to act as a placeholder. If someone (or several someones) has responded to a post that is subsequently deleted by the poster, the "message deleted . . . " keeps the threading intact and avoids the creation of "orphan" posts.
However, I think that having a bunch of "message deleted by poster" placeholders clutters up the boards. So if someone deletes a post that has not generated any responses, I will usually delete the "mesage deleted . . . " placeholder.
