I may have not have even looked to see if it posted so it's probably a case of clicking the wrong button. I highly doubt anyone deleted it, it wasn’t worth deleting.

I can. So far, all of the screwups I've seen, including mine, look an awful lot like operator errors. It's damn easy to hit something you don't mean to and not even notice it.

In the past a post like yours would be jumped on instantly, so since you posted it I've been periodically checking in waiting for the answer. Which is, I admit, a pretty silly position for me to take. I can't find your comment in the trash bin. I'm pretty sure only admins can permanently delete a comment from the trash, and I didn't. I'm at a loss to know what to do about it. And a bit unsettled by the mystery. It's hard to think of a thing I like less than to have data mysteriously disappear from a system I control. I'm sorry it happened. Sorry I can't fix it. No offense taken.
