From the [FAQ](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=9034110&postcount=7) > [@](#): > > How do I find out what happened to a missing thread or poster? > If you have a question about a thread or poster who “disappeared,” please DO NOT post an inquiry. In probably 95% of such cases, the thread (or poster) that vanished was an attention-seeker – a spammer , sock, or troll. They’re out for any attention, even negative attention, and we don’t want to give it to them. They disappear, as do their posts. And as do posts about them. > > So, if you have a question about such, please email a moderator. DO NOT post your question. DO NOT give these folks any publicity, acknowledgement, or recognition. > > If you try to get such a thread via a link, you may get an error message that says something like: > Quote: > > > [@](#): > > > > you do not have permission to access this page.

If you are interested in the subject, the thread title and OP was copied from one almost a year ago: [removing tolls from tollroads](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=809391) Usually spammers copy current threads. I’ve never seen one copy such an old thread before.
