Tsuwm--in, in, your link...it appears as though Max's missing post starts the thread. Did you do that on purpose? (I hope.)
===========================================================
Edit
MEGA MEGA weirdness, you-all! I just made a post in tsuwm's link, and while I was there, I saw (I think--I am not at all sure that I can trust my eyes or my mind, at this point) that he had posted astonishment at finding ONE
thread view listed. My post THERE is not HERE. It was:
This is a test post, made in tsuwm's link. I want to see if it shows up on the screen that Max's post is missing from.
This is really creepy! [shiver of apprehension ]

If you look at Max's orphaned thread in threaded mode, you will see that the top of the thread is an untitled post made at 19:00:00 on Dec. 31, 1969 .

What the significance of this might be I have no idea.

It is slightly unsettling isn't it? AWAD's version of the campside ghost story, perhaps? I am interested to see how long the "hidden" thread can get to be. A big thanks to tsuwm for publishing the link, still the only way in, to the best of my knowledge.

This is unbelievable! Just when one thinks it could not be any more laughably surreal,, one is shown that the mystery thread has been around since the days of ARPAnet!

As I am feeling quite Magisterial today, I, quite arbitrarily, (or should that be capriciously?) sent the missing page to Anu and the webmaster.

I, too, posted a message to the parallel universe thread. It should have appeared on the second page, but did not. The second page indicated 66 views, while the first still said 1.

Indeed, Sparteye. My second meta-page shows (now) 68 views, and no posts.

Now I *really miss Douglas Adams.

I just modified my display preferences to increase the number of posts shown on one page, and all posts made to that mystrey thread are now visible for me, including those that disappeared when they went to page 2
