Just to be clear - it is only individual responses and not the whole thread that is deleted. I can see that people might delete where others have already posted on the thread and the info is the same. Perhaps it was this - am now not sure but thanks all for your help |

I have deleted too when i see I have been pipped at the post ,so to speak, with the same info i have found.and sometimes a lot more has been added whilst i was doing the look up so my reply looks really out of place. |

It may have been that someone nudged up the thread and then deleted - we used to be able to clear the thread of nudges by deleting but it doesnt happen now. |

Allison do you mean the whole thread was deleted or just a reply from someone was deleted? |

Yes totally agree if it is someone else's thread but it was my thread to which people had researched and given a reply - and then deleted the answer! |

I do know why some people always delete their own threads after they have got the information from them that they need. |

I always reply so it isn't that - perhaps, as you say it was about duplication but I've still lost some valuable info. |

Possibly because there is no response from the poster? Or maybe not wanting to clog the thread with duplicated info, wrong info, any number of reasons. |

Sometimes 2 or 3 people might find the same information of eg a census look-up and post details, only to see that 2 more people have also posted within seconds of each other. |

I've just gone back to re-read a thread where people had posted useful info - and someone has deleted their answers. I just wondered if there's a reason why people would do this?? |
