From the context of the remaining posts, it's clear that fellow posters suggested that whatever the first post contained may have been a breach of privacy or professional decorum, and the original poster chose to delete it.

Having seen the original post, I agree with his decision. It was posted in enthusiastic haste, and contained elements that were assumptions on his part, mixed in with e-mail snippets from a private conversation. Every time "Thor Omnibus" comes up on this board, various posters get whipped into a hopeful frenzy, and this thread is just another example of that -- a hopeful frenzy, with nothing official or unofficial to encourage it, save one poster's deleted assumptions.

If I did a similar thing, I would leave the original post up.

Are you doing the Reader's Digest versions of your posts now?

Thank You!!!

I prefer it to the normal 20 pages of repetitious posts.
