   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.

   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.
