I apologize for not responding but this thread started on the day that I moved. My dad went in the hospital and died a week later. There was a period of almost 2 weeks that I hardly had time to boot my computer.

To answer your question, pythonfan, your thread was not deleted but only the post for which you were notified. The thread is still there. You have to realize that if a thread has no posts for a period of 3 months then someone posts something that is against community policies and that post gets deleted, it does not remain on the first page but goes back to the page containing the 3 month old posts. This was the case with your thread. You will now find that it is several pages back in the forum but here is the link to it.
