In the thread about phonics vs. whole word, I made two posts. One was a Wikipedia page for the National Reading Panel and the second was a link to a research document that they had produced.

One of my posts disappeared and the other was rewritten so:

[http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7139987&postcount=27](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7139987&postcount=27)

I’d be worried that someone logged into my account and edited things after I posted, except that there’s no edit marker and there’s no way for a regular user to delete a post.

Could someone investigate what happened?

Just to be clear, I did not write a post with the words, "1 L3r||3D L337! "

Oh…okay I guess I did! Sorry ignore this post. I didn’t realize that I had replied to a zombie thread and that my new posts were on the second page. Apparently, I did post that back in 2006. :smack: 😃

**Moderator Action**

Since there’s no issue here (other than Sage Rat not remembering a post made in 2006 😉 ) I’ll go ahead and close this.

Thread closed.
