Notice that only duplicates are pulled. Is that easy enough?

Did you miss the beginning of this little fracas? All the threads were pulled because multiple moderators were working independently (does this strike you as a smart way to do things? Think this situation might crop up again?). When they realized the error, one was restored. But by that time the conversation was pretty exclusively "what's happening to all these threads?"

As a matter of fact, I did miss the little fracas. (Damned 4 hour conference call ;-)) I was going by what was stated earlier. My bad on that one, and my apologies.

And a hearty pat on the back to the moderators for doing the yeomans job that many of us would rather not do.

True, moderators were operating under the same constraints as the people posting. We were simultaneously viewing and acting on rapidly arriving, duplicate posts.

Perhaps the volume of posts had something to do with our making a mistake while attempting to deal with them? We acknowledged and have learned from our mistake. I have only seen one or two posters do the same.
