I see what you mean about the missing (?) areas.....I really don't remember if something was there or not. I don't know how to go about checking it....once something has been deleted it is gone...I have access to most of the admin tools but can't seem to find an archival area for deleted posts...I'll keep looking.
Diets hasn't posted much anywhere. My last email from him was in April....he is building an observatory in the South of France....I guess his weather has been as bad as mine.
I wrote him an email on the first of this month, but haven't heard back from him as yet
