That’s odd. There where about 8 replies, but it just vanished.

I replied three-four times.

It was in GQ. I was trying to help, but the thread is gone.

?

I responded this morning 1/28 at about 9 MST. It’s all gone now.

Am I totally off my nut, or does anyone else remember it?

Do you remember who started it? If it was started by a troll/sock, it may have been deleted. Best bet is to email a Mod.

Nope. An honest question from someone named Citizen something. Nothing subversive at all about the question. And I was trying to help. It was kind of interesting from my perspective, but keyword searches on words that I know where used in the thread have turned up nothing.

Kind of weird.
