For those of us who never load the whole board, please be aware that TravisJ45 posts have been restored, despite previous statements about the impossibility of such restoration:
The administrator, having bypassed the moderator tools (which rename posts to 123456.deleted.m##.html filename convention for automatic "sweep" into deleted bin) performed the Unix rm -f filename command (translated: forcibly remove the filename given). After a file is forcibly removed, the system causes it to "unlink" and provides no further read access. [http://www.hourglass2.org/wwwboard/messages/184367.html]
The new light: The posts were in a hidden "vault" [http://www.hourglass2.org/wwwboard/messages/185208.html]
Lobo
who appreciate Rick's restoration
