Hi Everyone,
I know I am a little green...
So bear with me.....
I know there is technically nothing stopping me from re-adding / re-
committing an obliterated resource...
However, is there any value to use something along the lines of Mark's
log details, (some sort of obliterated Listing / flag, perhaps)
and provide a warning that the new resource previously existed but was
obliterated?
I realise, It is simply going to be easier - to re-obliterate the
resource again if subsequently added in error - but in the interest of
user-friendliness...
Beau.
