You’re more than welcome, Jason. I guess the subtlety of your point escaped me. 🙂  
This thread is getting to be **way** too much fun. Watch, as it vanishes.  
Peace,

**Omniscient** : Could you please post the entire address for that link, please? My browser is not working correctly.

Thanks.

WOW! thanks… Now I know how you got that  
address. Pretty smart… I was wondering  
where did Satan’s picture come from. Never thought of  
checking it’s source, though.

I did not delete or move the topic “anal or no.” I was not aware it was missing until I read email from a member this morning; I have looked for the topic, in vain. I was reading the GQ forum until about 7 o’clock last evening but don’t remember if I checked into that thread or not, but it appears by mangeorge’s topic that it had already disappeared by 8 pm.

## This is as much a mystery to me as it is to you, and I may not be able to solve it before I go to work this morning.

I just want to applaud Nickrz’s dedication – getting up at 4:30 in the freaking morning just to check out the SDMB.

You know what’s even _more_ annoying? Somebody who makes accusations without knowing what they’re talking about…

Did you try test-searching using other users or using topics? It could be that the search function is wacked again.

I do know for sure that the mixed-ethnic thread is gone, though, because I checked all through the forum for it. What’s the deal with that?

I told you. ALL of **heatherlee** ’s OPs are GONE!

And NO ONE has given us an answer as to why.

C’mon, mods/admins, what’s going on?

As of about 11 PM last night, the moderators and administrators don’t have a clue what happened to topics started by heatherlee. Even her “goodbye” topic was gone.

The tech staff are looking into it, and trying to find clues. It is **NOT** the case that any moderator or administrator deliberately deleted them.

If anyone is aware of any other posts that have vanished, please inform (by e-mail is probably best) [TUBADIVA@aol.com](mailto:TUBADIVA@aol.com)
