Yeah, sure they weren't moved? Threads are moved often, sometimes to peoples confusion. I know a few times I've thought WTF happened to mine? Just to see it was moved somewhere else.

When you get older you'll appreciate why your threads and or posts had to be disappeared to another location where they are being treated well.  We want them all to lead a normal life.
