I think it has to do with the software bug that assigned new identities to some of us this morning (including me, I was txrangerette for a few posts until I noticed). On the yahoo site, John said he was going to pull all such posts in order to avoid confusion. Sure enough, all my posts as txrangerette are gone now.
You should see the "Email" thread, there are about thirty posts missing on one page. :D
Thanks, that explains it.
What is the Yahoo site name (I couldn't get to it on a Yahoo Groups search for FreeRepublic)?
