I feel “whole” again. I swear I’ve been checking every half-hour to see if it was back, and now it is. I’ve been lurking on the Snopes site, and I don’t think they like us very much. I definitely got a negative vibe over there towards us here at the SD. I’m glad to be back among friends and family. ---

Hardly, VB; that was a long two days of ‘routine maintenance’ for me as well. I notice that posts are missing in places; for instance, in GD, on the ‘SDMB Syndrome’ thread, my first post on the thread, and Lib’s response, are gone. No big deal. Addicted to the SDMB?

I actually was very productive during my lunch breaks the past two days. Instead of visiting the SDMB, I actually had some nice meals!

My guess is that it is indicative of the system being compromised, which I did _not_ think was the case. But some people just can’t help themselves. ---
