>> So, where did the rest of my comments go?  While I don't have my own emails from this period, I know that by July 1995 I had published Part 2 of AP, and Part 1 must have appeared well before that.    How suspicious am I supposed to be?  I did find some, even many, of my own emails as early as December 1995, but that should have been 6 months after I appeared on CP.  


 >Well, apparentely if you posted anything before december 1995, it's not in those archives. (do you recall if you had another address apart from jimbell at pacifier.com? )

No, I believe pacifier.com was my only Internet email address at that time, and at least the only one that I used to communicate with the CP list.  (I had been communicating on FIDOnet for a few years.  I don't recall what my address on FIDOnet was.)
But remember, even if ALL of __MY__ emails mysteriously disappeared, that wouldn't explain why everybody else's (relevant to AP) emails would disappear as well.  (During the pre-December 2006 time frame.)  Theirs, TO me,and theirs, to each other.  What happened to THOSE?  I think this needs to be carefully studied.  



>> At the same time, however, it appears that there are MANY threads from 1995 that are being archived.   I don't see any way that "all" of my pre-December-1995 emails could disappear, yet leaving hundreds (?) of other postings on threads that don't include any (?) of my comments.  

   > I haven't read all the messages in order, so I can't tell if there's stuff missing inbetween them. I might give it a try. It's technically possible to delete all your messages, and replies/references to them I guess, but it seems somewhat unlikely? Or else the archives have indeed been carefuly edited...

That sure sounds to be exceedingly improbable, huh?  Who has had control of the archives?   I figure these records can't have been kept only by ONE person, right?  Other people should have copies.
This is beginning to sound like a mystery-thriller.    How exciting.
