Called "Rufus Susses Leonard"??  And what would it
have to do with my father and me?

Is that Central time?  Must be, because #133450 
is time-stamped 9:50 pm Eastern (unless the time-
stamps aren't accurate, which is certainly
possible).

Anyway, assuming it was deleted at 10:13 Eastern,
that's a half-hour before the EST time-stamp of
his post about the thread going missing, so the
two may or may not be related.

I'm sure Vaj isn't about to clarify, so it'll have
to remain a mystery.
