The G&M didn't delete your post.

Posts can be deleted just by being flagged by enough readers.

I don't know how many "flags" it takes, but I suspect that it isn't many.

Some sort of auto-system.

Whomever did it is an intellectual coward.

Do what I do - just re-post it.

Even more readers will see it each time you put it up, defeating the intent of their pathetic response to your post.
