Uncle, I tried to email both you and Phil when I thought the forum had completely vanished recently due to expired domain. I used last known emails so not sure if either of you received them. Good to see you back. A while back I had all sorts of issues trying to log in, as you may recall.
Phil, I often look back over old threads that pop up in a particular search or when trying to go back to something I know has been discussed previously. There are a lot of holes in many threads. I seriously doubt anyone's ability to identify, let alone recover the lost / truncated posts. When the site was "gone" most recently, I successfully used The Wayback Machine to view some aspects of the forum I was trying to use though, which was a relief at the time I needed access.
