I noticed this morning that a post to which I had responded was apparently deleted by the original poster. In most other discussion fora, once a post has any sort of followup, only a moderator may delete the thread.

Nothing significant was lost in my followup, but I'm concerned that good information may, at some point, be lost due to the OP changing their mind about the original topic.

Thoughts? Comments?

(I don't plan to delete this post )

Jeffrey, is your answer still accessible to you from your "My Account" page?

When I look at your page's "Answers" tab the first (i.e. most recent one) points here:

Since I'm a DC moderator it may be the case that I can see it but you (or other ordinary members) can't.

Hi, Jeffrey!

Would you please provide the link to the deleted post?

Last week we had two spam posts and these posts were unpublished.

I would love to, but as it's been deleted I'm not sure exactly how I would do that

The closest I can come is this: https://community.intersystems.com/post/overwrite-file#node-433196, which is the URL provided by the "Answer:" link circled in the attached.

Yes, that's the link I posted in response to Evgeny's request. Looks like we just missed each other

Yes, that's the link I posted to Evgeny's response (which I appear to have posted just as you were writing your reply).
