No, of course a thread that mentions another thread will not automatically be deleted. That would be absurd.

That was all I was pointing out. I was not having a go at hopefulnanny and I'm very sorry to hear that she has apparently taken an "undeserved battering" but I don't think I can possibly be accused of having done that.
