Why would a thread get dumped when the only purpose of it was to help others?

I saw your post and read it. I didn't see a single thing that would have gotten it whacked. You stated in both the title and the description that it was NOT your car and that you were only passing along info. You gave great descriptions of a lot of the parts and you informed readers of what you bought or was missing. I agree that there was no reason to whack the post.
