Not me, I'm on vacation trying to access PPRuNe very intermittently by iPhone.
You've been around long enough to know the reason your thread disappeared. For many years the topic of your thread was forbidden on PPRuNe due to the conflicting passions it excited. We've relaxed or relented slightly in recent years, until conflicting views are posted, when the thread "disappears" without comment.
That will continue to be our policy. There are other web sites where discussion on that topic are possibly welcome.
