Sorry to open this as a separate thread. I’ve been in a discussion with my fellow Straight Dope people regarding a [music theory thing](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=476005), but my last two posts are showing up blank instead of showing my comments. I’ve already:
1. Restarted Firefox
2. Opened the discussion in IE instead
3. rebooted, and tried 1) and 2) again
Is there any way to get back the content of those posts? I’d be happy to repost, but as I said, my second attempt fared no better than my first, and I don’t want to just keep reposting, since I don’t think it would benefit anyone to have a series of blank posts in the thread. Any and all help welcome…

IANAMod - but it has something to do with quote tags:
[QUOTE=Fish]
So we’re back to borrowing the term “suspended” from counterpoint, because we’re describing a chord found in a contrapuntal resolution technique. Could we call it “Dret2” instead? I suppose we could have. But we didn’t, because (as you can see from the examples above) many of the terms in music aren’t _prescriptive_, where “every time you see these tones, it’s called X.” Most definitions boil down to “it depends.”[\ QUOTE]
That last end quote has a \ and not a /.

What **Dolores Reborn** said. I fixed the tag and removed the duplicate post, so you’re good to go.
