", I am just curious."

I don't know! That's why it's not just an absent posting, but an Infuriatingly Absent Posting!
You'ld have a better idea than I would, since you made post two... I don't suppose you remember what post four was? Hmm?

Traveller in Time on his head
"Sure I remember that posting by slacker.

It was an excellent reply, three or four levels deep. You should quote the posting three too, it completes the story somewhat."

I wish that post were still there; that whole conversation was great.
I've decided to leave most of it up to people's imaginations, though. There's no point having an entry on the whole conversation; if people want the whole story they can follow the link to read it themselves.

Hmm. I wonder if the moderators would still have the post hidden in the Hootoo database? And could they be convinced (bribed) to bring almost all of it back again? Without the bit that caused it to be moderated?

"Well, despite some say something else I have the idea _nothing_ ever gets thrown away.
Even changes to an entry are stored . . .

Perhaps if you come back later ?

(though I think at least posting three should be included in your entry , it does hold the clue to the 'missing' content)"

I agree with what you're saying, although post one also has clues to what I think it said; and if I add posts one and three then I'd have to add post two, and then I might as well have just put a link to the original conversation instead of writing an entry on it.
I suspect that's the case anyway; don't be surprised if I remove this entry sometime and replace it with a link instead.

Anyway, I've just left a message for the moderators, telling them that our post went over their fence and can we have it back please. Fingers crossed.

Traveller in Time on his head
"Do not expect the moderators even to respond.

Take it from me you are able to know the message."

I can guess vaguely what was said, but I'm hoping to find out /how/ it was said; the pictures those guys paint beat my imagination every time.

Traveller in Time on his head
"Yes we sure miss these guys, I can not imagine the site if they had not been there."

Traveller in Time on top
"Already figured out th emissing posting?"

I'm told that /was/ the post; coupled with a kind of in-joke humour.

Nothing to see here, people, move along...
