I was just looking for a thread I posted to a couple of times this morning in GQ, and it seems to be gone. It was about Isaac Newton, and I don’t remember the name of the user (other than it started with a “B”). This user had at least one other thread in GQ that I remember that is no longer there, so did these threads get deleted? I was going to reference another poster in that thread, also whose name I can’t remember. (Obviously, I have a problem with names.) ---

Yeah. Sorry about that, **JeffB**. Those theads were from our old friend dippymonger. They may come back, albeit locked. But for now, they’re in invisible mode. ---

Ah. I just emailed you, manhattan, but here I have your answer. Ah. ---

Thanks. I figured it was something like that. And since **Tansu** has replied to my new thread, I now know his name. ---

No, it was the Isaac Newton thread. I feel like such a berk for replying to it. ---

As do I, except I don’t know what a “berk” is. You’ve got to stop throwing the Briticism at me. 🙂 I started to wonder about the OP after his second post. Perhaps we should have a “Deleted Threads” notice like we have the “Moved Threads” notice. Then again, that may just give more attention to those we want to quietly disappear. Oh well, no harm. I was able to connect up with **Tansu** in my “Cheese and Chalk” thread (even though it should have been “Chalk and Cheese”).
