Where do OP’s finally end up if they don’t go to other forums or CC’s column? Do all posts go to the OP data base or are they just deleted? Is there some place where I can access all previous posts to the SDMB? ---

Not all are saved simply because some were destroyed to make more room on the date base and then others disappeared during the recent “black out”. Just use “search” and you will find what’s left. ---

This seems to be a question about this message board, so I’ll send it over the the forum we have just for questions about this message board. It’s called, oddly enough, About This Message Board.
