I added a couple of posts a day or so ago, under the title "Script for
calculating new pricing cost for the current quota usage". The posts
appeared in the group, before then disappearing a short while later.

I didn't receive any notification. I'd appreciate knowing why they
were removed so that I don't make the same mistake again.

Thanks!

In general we don't delete posts (exceptions apply: for instance, if someone posts someone else's personal contact information that would make me really mad). Let me go through the moderation queue and see if it's been held up as possible spam.

It wasn't, I saw the posts about the script.

Ditto, they were definitely there at one point!

We had someone with a similar problem a week or so ago. The would get posted and then 'go away'. We did not find what was going on.

He picked a name that could have triggered an auto-spam filter, changed it and his posts started showing up. It does not look like you are in that situation???

Thanks for confirming that I wasn't just imagining it!

Ikai - I will wait until you determine what happened, before reposting
(if that is considered suitable.) My post was regarding a user script
that I wrote, which displays new-pricing estimates for the current day
on the quota details page. It also shows how these values have been
calculated. Since billing history is much more up to day than it was
just a few days ago, the script isn't as useful as it once might have
been, but is nevertheless something that several people are finding
useful.

I should have clarified someone in a different forum...

I was referring to the earlier messages, which confirmed that my
messages had been there at one point. Thanks for clarifying though.

Rob, if it still doesn't appear, email the message to me directly. I'll smash it through with my trusty Mjolnir.

Ikai... I'm noticing a trend. You like big hammers don't you? Guess
it makes christmas shopping easy for your wife.
