Missing thread

[Ray]

earlier this month a thread in the general forums was started entitled “WGA-what’s in it for you?”. It was started by Grousetales and had some rather poignant duscussion regarding the state of our sport. I returned to add late news that talks between Groundspeak and Buxley have resumed only to find that the thread has disappeared. What gives?

It was started by wzbt03 on February 1. When I do a search using his name the topic is one of the last on the list, but clicking it brings up a page not found error.

Edited reply … originally replied with a possible answer, but since have figured out that it’s not accurate … so rather than deleting my reply (and adding to the mystery), I just changed it to contain this useless disclaimer … darn, I was having a pretty wiz bang of a day until now.

Here is the last time the thread was accessed. Only moderators or wzbt03 himself could have deleted the thread…

Also edited or deleted at the same time were two other posts:

683: COTM+Voting+in+January
696: Where+do+they+Go

A quick Google search shows that both of these threads were also started by wzbt03. Unfortunately, Google did not cache any of these pages.

IP address 68.78.239.214 resolves to adsl-68-78-239-214.dsl.mdsnwi.ameritech.net.

Sorry – thought the thread had been exhausted.
No mystery – I deleted it as I often do when a thread is at its end.
