By any chance, did you see my reply to you? Was it deleted by someone unknown?

It was deleted by me. Did you not see ''This message has been deleted by Rover_KE'?

Please don't post a reply until the OP has provided further information, such as the source of quoted text.

Andromeda: read what Rover said. If you keep reposting your reply you'll get yourself into hot water.

No, It wasn't. The fact that you posted a second response ten hours after your Rover deleted your first response in which he gave his reason for the deletion, suggested that his message may not have appeared on your screen. Such things happen sometimes. Emsr2d2 was making sure that you had simply not noticed the message. If the message had not been visible to you, she would have informed the admin staff so that they could investigate.

You are dead right; when I posted the remark, there was nothing from Rover.
