You are correct, nothing in my expose proves or disproves anything. But like two gentlemen riding an elevator, we both know who passed wind in this case <s>.

>I do know of at least 1 person who saw the topics I posted with his own eyes. That person would be Rod Paddock. He is the one that turned me on to OpenWiki and Ward's new book. I called to tell him about the topics I posted as I thought they should be posted on the wiki as opposed to the UT. He confirmed he saw my topics. When the topics disappeared, I called Rod to let him know what was going on; whether I was seeing things. Apparently, my eyes were not playing tricks on me.

>As for the list you provide below, that neither proves or dis-proves your claim that I am "full of it". I on the other hand have a living, breathing person to corroborate my assertion above.

>At this point, there is no need for you to prove anything. I certainly did not ask for any such offering on your part. I take you at your word. At the same time, I would appreciate you taking me at my word. Certainly, you cannot prove with 100% certainty those topics did not exist. Those topics were posted within minutes of each other. And, there was no other activity going on to speak of. Put it this way...if the issue is with the database, one cannot use the same database to prove an issue does not exist. It is much like asking a guy who was picked up for shoplifting if he did. If he says no, I guess you have to let him go...< bg >...

>As I tried to say in the last post, and I will say again here - the issue as as far as I am concerned, is moot. Perhaps it is YOU that should consider this issue as moot. One thing you should know about me Steve, I would never make such a claim if I could not back it up. Had nobody else verified the topics were there, I would let the issue drop and would have chocked the situation as some snafu soley on my part.

>As far as I am concerned, how the topics came to be deleted is a mystery and most likely, will always be a mystery. Several things are certain:

>1. The topics have been re-established and are there now.
>2. Per Cindy's message, topics can indeed mysteriously disappear.
>3. At least 1 person other than myself saw the topics.
>4. This issue is not worthy of more time.

>I rest my case... I suggest you do the same as it is simply not worth the time.
