Greg Guerin just posted (under the "Just Another Day ..." topic in the August 2004 folder) a question: what happened to the other posts in that topic? It looks like several have vanished into the ether.<br><br>Were they purged by Dan or Rob? If so, why? I don't recall any really offensive content in the missing posts.<br><br>The alternative is some kind of software glitch that has lost the links to those posts -- or a server problem that lost ALL comments posted over a certain date/time range (files restored from backup).<br><br>Dan? Rob? To quote the Fred Willard character in 'A Mighty Wind', Wha' hoppen?<br><br>Robert M.

<br>That's my fault. There was only one other post there, (Sniff. Nobody's talking about my story any more. :) ) and I put it up last night. I was griping and venting about my lousy job and how it was hell for me, especially yesterday. A few hours later I regrouped and decided it was wrong of me to dump that on everyone & deleted it.<br>After it was gone, the system still said it was the last updated topic, even though the last message was from the 11th.<br>Nate
