Where the Hell did my post go?

Hello.
My post on Capitalism in the Ayn Rand site wasn't there this afternoon(when I got back from WORK).Three possibilities:The editor doesn't agree;the editor wants to keep it for himself(sorry,I am married);I might have caused offence by making the observation that the modern day commie talks about 'respectability' a lot(and 'obeying the law').
In any case,it is possible I cocked up the posting method,but unlikely.
Not to worry.I will start my own thread(I usually do).I will not be volutneering.Despite my e-mail address.Everything I do,I do it for ME!

Sorry,Jimi.Sent a post about the 'objections' section of the Ayn Rand page-I argued that if people don't know about anything,they cannot possible impose coercively and therefore we must have Capitalism.
Anyway,it was possible that my post was unacceptable to the editor.The editor of that site is you,apparently.
But it looks as though you did not get the message at all in the first place,or you would know 'what the Hell' I meantsmiley - smiley

Sub-editors (the ones in the 'Edited By' space on most Edited Entries do not have the ability to move, remove or edit posts in any way. We're Researchers just like you, only we volunteer to help the paid staff by editing entries for inclusion into the Edited Guide.

I suspect the post that you're looking for is located at F56066?thread=257892&post=3324078#p3490267

If that's what you were looking for, it's right where you left it.

In the future, you might find that h2g2 is a whole lot less nefarious than you seem to think and that there are usually pretty good explanations for things which don't seem to make any sense (well, most of the time anyway).

I'll be honest, I'm not particularly glad you decided to make this posting on *my* Personal Space since I wasn't even involved in the conversation to which you were replying. But I hope I've been able to solve your problem.

Why the hell couldn't I work that out?
