Previous Thread Next Thread Print Thread Another ghost in the machine #33497 06/25/2001 4:25 AM Joined: Apr 2000 Posts: 3,065 Jakarta Bingley Carpal Tunnel Bingley Carpal Tunnel Joined: Apr 2000 Posts: 3,065 Jakarta I had this notification today that tsuwm had replied to one of my posts. In reply to: tsuwm replied to your post at the site: AWADtalk. http://wordsmith.org/board/showthreaded.pl?Cat=&Board=wordplay&Number=31704 And that was it, no indication of what he'd said. So, since I couldn't find any empty post from tsuwm when I looked through the new posts, I tried clicking on the url. The message in question was Dr. Bill's piece on salmon redds. Neither tsuwm nor I have contributed to that thread, and even more mysteriously the whole thread, which is in Q&A, has been duplicated under wordplay and fun.

Would the number of the post have been reassigned if a post before it had been deleted?

Is that because I caught it mid-edit?
