Ah, no: I should have explained that a bit better. I've never really considered posting anything that could break forum rules (at least not intentionally), so there's never been any reason for worrying that the Mods would come down on me. However, I did/do often worry about accidental offense or misunderstanding towards other FMs, and will often ditch posts that I'm not entirely happy with. It's not a case of "Will the Mods be happy with this?", but rather "Will I be happy with this being read and replied-to?".
This forum (and others) takes up a fair part of my leisure time, so I don't want to spoil that with unintended bad feeling. I had the odd instance of misunderstanding early-on on the old BB forum, and it was a case of once bitten...
