Have you cancelled any posts recently (especially in the
water-pistol-over-reaction-by-chavs-who-are-frightened-of-water thread)?

Your apparently recently posted response to Mad M is marked as unavailable.

I'll check it on Google Groups too.

Well, it is still available on Google Groups (but not on the Berlin Free
University server).

Just a thought... is "poor mental health" the general answer to the
question of why some adults over-react so badly to children with toy
water pistols?

I never cancel posts, and all those I sent seem to be available here on
NIN.

Another group is also complaining of cancelled posts.

The post (identified by date and time) was available ob Google Groups.

It might be peculiar to the servers at the Freie Universität (Berlin).

I've noticed quite a few over the last few weeks.

You’re quite right, I’ve done a fresh download of ukrc, and that message is
missing from the NIN server. I didn’t cancel it.

As an experiment, I cancelled a different message, which is now also
unavailable on NIN (23 Jun 14:44) but reposted it as a separate reply -
which is showing up (23 Jun 16:07)(both in the Edinburgh thread).

I feel an email to Berlin coming on...
