Hope is never lost, I guess

[Zaphod]

There are ways to access threads which have been removed by moderation.....

I hope the mods won't mind me just providing the links to illustrate the way for the OP to view them .....

If you google a particular (removed) subject... say:
https://www.google.co.uk/search?source=h..._p4zahRWj8

You will see some of those links are now dead , for example if you click the 3rd one down in that list ^ (Entitled 'on and on') it says the page doesn't exist..

https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&...GvYNKesJtl

But if you click the little down arrow/triangle at the end of the pages description:


it does still exist in google's cache. (for now at least)

If you know the actual title of the thread that you can't find anymore , you should be able to use the technique above to get the data you require on your browser privately ....

That's the only help I can give you.
