It did cross my mind... but then, who would think to search on the "disguised"
spellings?

But it seems I was mistaken about the purge. All I can figure is that I had the
mis-fortune of catching them doing some maintenance on the server, and I
mis-interpreted the odd behavior of my board. Sorry, y'all.

Good hunting,
Diana
