Does this bother you like it bothers me?

I've been reading the Daily Drop, as I do every day. However, one post with an interesting title comes up with the following message: 

error message

Now I'm really bugged.

Why was that post removed? Was it too controversial? Did it contain bad language? Was it defamatory?If it was so bad, how did it get into the Daily Drop in the first place?

What did I miss? It had to be something interesting, didn't it?Or did someone just enter a link incorrectly and there's no mystery at all?

I've tried it several times and all the other post links come up just fine, so...?

I saw this once too, I don't remember what the blog was about though, but yes, it is a bother.

Hi Marte~  I have seen this happen before too and I wonder why as well.  I figured a lot of the same things you wrote.

Hi Marte, can you email the link you're speaking of?  The member may have deleted the post and I'd love to look further into this.  kerrie@activerain.com

Thanks!

Nor - I love to read mystery novels, but with them I find out the answer at the end.

Catherine - it gets my curiosity going, that's for sure. My husband keeps reminding me about what curiosity did to the cat, but I still have plenty of it.

Vickie - Wouldn't it be fun to know the answer?

Kerrie - Yes, I just did email that to you. Thanks! Maybe it's just a glitch and you can make it active again.

Marte, still too new to Active Rain to know of what you are speaking, however, I have talked to Kerrie and she was great, know she will help you too.

Suzanne - and everyone. Kerrie looked into it and found that the post had been deleted. She assumes, by the author.

So a new puzzle... why? I hope it wasn't because some misguided soul made a snarky comment.

Marte: Sometimes people take down their own posts. Rest assured that while you were searching for that one 10-50 more interesting reads hit the blog roll!

Great example of question and answer.  Isn't it great that the STAFF read and find out answers for us, without us even asking!
