&lt;b&gt;This is not a complaint,&lt;/b&gt; but I've got a number of nodes in the -5 to -10 range now, and wondered if that was typical.  How low can they get before possibly being removed?  Can anyone offer me any advice to avoid being so apparently bothersome to others?  I've added a sig in case that helps.

&lt;readmore&gt;
[id://304650|One] was created by mistake; what do I do about that (other than &lt;b&gt;never&lt;/b&gt; do it again)?  Others include all my replies [grab bag of user questions|here] (two of which I have updated in case I was misunderstood).
&lt;/readmore&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</field>
