It seems unlikely 44 reviews and ratings of the same DT album were lost CCVP. A database backup from about 12 hours previously was used.

I don't pretend to understand the algorithm I'm afraid, but I think the submission of reviews of other albums can also affect an overall rating, as it is based on ratings and popularity.

Is it my imagination or were we off line again for half hour or so this evening????

apparently I have had 3 posts removed!

including my post about John Rutsey that was moved to a previously posted thread, and
now . . . POOF, gone

For now on, drafts will be made . . . its too hot here to type them again

Someone out there does not like me (great . . . there are even MORE now?).
. . . I promise not to mention CENSORED.com again!!!

uhh . . .
I may have missed the joke but . . . Its not even in my nature to "Troll" or "Flame" on anybody.
But yes, until you get a bunch of Prog nerds together, we get elitest and think we matter in the
"Music Industry" (well we don't, only to the people who appreciate well composed musics).
so . . . "but it may take a wile until you can measure the power of your words in such civilized place".
. . . careful now, you may have to read what you write

Again, I'm a fan of probably every Sub-Genre of Progressive Rock, so its hard to get on a bad
side.
But I must say, the friendliest bastion of PrOggers has been on CENSORED.com (...I promised)
because just about everyone writes personal emails to each other, knows what people look
like, chat on a live chat board and have even met up to go to a concert or hang out, and have
donated CD's for everyone to listen to.  More "human contact" make people more civilized and
Proggers should be in "it" all together in this Top 40 music world.
Things have gotten contentious about subjects, that happens in any "Community", but there is
always a reconsiliation and we go on as happy Proggers.  You can see it at the Forum and
various posts/topics. Its not as vast as here, but we are as devoted as all these fine listeners
here in this community.

And . . .
What kind of person would I possibly be, as a RUSH fan, to say something AWFUL about the
passing of John Rutsey and post it at this well known Prog forum?
"well, this is not exactly some oblivious site on the internet where you can make random
comments to whoever"
Careful now . . .  did you see my posts? get to know me, or anybody for that matter and yes, watch
what you say.

If I mis-interpeted your comment above I appologize humbly.

PrOg On all.
