Default Just curious why my last post was deleted

A week or two ago I posted a message asking for information about kayaking
in the Tonkin Gulf, Vietnam. A few days later the message disappeared from
the newsgroup. Is there a moderator for this newsgroup? Would he/she have
deleted it? If so, why? Is there some other way a post would disappear?





It still shows up on deja.com, so my guess is that maybe the problem is in
your computer settings? I did a 'catch up' yesterday, so I can't see
messages from before then, but I remember seeing your message, but didn't
notice it going away. Sometimes, the ghost in the machine deletes messages
before their expiration dates arrive; I don't think anything malicious
happened.

Then again, it might have been the government. :-)

Or the poster's browser/reader is set to delete messages older than
n-days. I have mine set to ignore anything more than 7 days old.
