Just for the sake of chronicling what I’d guess is related database quirkiness, although not a disappearing post, I’ll report that yesterday **Earthling** started a thread in GQ to which I replied. The board hung on submit, so I closed that browser and opened another to come back to the forum. There were two copies of the thread there, both showing zero replies and both containing my reply.
