I would and have used Acetone, with some sucsess, mainly for removing sticky stuff. For mould, I am not sure what I would try beyond a mild detergent and a gentle scrub, or maybe a careful blast with the jet washer......but I would be very careful about using any bleach. Bleach rots material in a very strange and pernicious way, it takes weeks before it sets in, even after a good wash, it can fall apart. I wouldn't be so worried about the cloth, but would worry about the stiching.
Shouldn't of started the diversion over 'blog' or whatever....way off topic.
But I would say, that the line between a 'blog', a 'blogsite', a 'wiki', a 'CMS' driven site has now become very very blurred indeed. You just can't define a 'blog' that simply any more. Providing some area of the website where a 'blog-type' of interface could be used by members that allowed other users comments has long been discussed and who knows...maybe it is time we did that.
But sorry, AG. It would always have to be moderated.
You have no idea, if this forum removed all its moderation and allowed free posting from all, it would be broken within hours. Before we established our automatic filtering system, we were getting between 50 and a hundred new members a day. Each posting many times with wonderful links to porn, russian wives, extended willies, viagra etc etc etc.
We have only ever promised to allow and promote discussion of classic boats.
There are rules to posting on this forum - you agreed to them when you signed up. It benefits us all that we stay within these rules. There will always be the need for some level of moderation, mainly self-moderation. Without it, there simply wouldn't be a forum.
mmmmmmmmmmmm........please!Though of course control of what is said is many peoples dream; to take away a right others died for.
