Suze I didn't really think you had it removed to be honest. I can't be asked chasing it  up. You would think there are more important things at the moment than deleting innocent posts..

I've had the same with writing a long post that disappears somewhere in cyberspace. I often write those in open office now just in case, but not always.

I miss the midnight chats as well. I'm still a night owl. But things change and the mods and the trolls put an end to all the fun. Never mind. I pop in so now and then though to let a few people know I'm still alive.
