> Friends,
> I have examined the aspects of ggs post. All that I know is what I was told by the other site and I have not heard from either Dr. Hsiung or the tech. admin. at the other site. If there is a misunderstanding, that is what I am asking to have cleaerd up.
> But if there was a change done by the other site, I was led to believe that there was not,for I spacifically asked if their site could be causing this and was told that it had to be done at the other end. Perhaps he was unknowing of a change. So I am asking to have this cleared up and Dr. Hsiung could confirm what gg has posted here and that could end this investigation.
> But even if the other site changed the way it operates, I am asking that the posts be restored to their original form by putting back what has been now led to [...not found...]and a notation from Dr. Hsiung next to those posts that say why they do not lead to what was originally posted. This, I feel, will keep the record intact.
> But I am awaiting an answer from the other site and they are 3 hours behind me. I will explain this to him and allow him to comment on it. But then there is the statement that he made to me that he could go to it. I will ask him about it. I think that there could be two sides to this yet.
> LouNo, Lou, there are not two sides to it. There's one issue here: the post in question linked to a search query -- NOT to a webpage. That's what GG posted, and that's the issue.
Personally, I would like to thank GG for going to the trouble of looking into this. She didn't have to do that, and yet she did. Thank you, GG. Some of us do appreciate what you do here.
As for the person you emailed at lds.org, it sounds to me as though he did not understand your question. Did you tell him you were looking for an URL? Or did you tell him you were looking for the results of a query? Those are two very different things.
As for having Dr Bob make a change to the original post, that's not likely to happen. You know why I say that? Because Dr Bob has made it clear, repeatedly, to many posters, that what is posted here stays posted. If you post something you regret -- well, you chose to post it, you live with having it out there for all to see. He will not change it. He's made that clear. In this case, I can't see any reason to believe he would change his mind about that and make a change to the post. NO, it would not be a case of making a change to go back to what it was -- there are lots of outdated links on this site. That's the nature of the beast. Things on the World Wide Web change. Pages are deleted. Whole websites are deleted. It happens.
And asking that Dr Bob make those changes because you want them made, Lou, is asking for special treatment. Why should you receive special treatment, when others do not? Don't you say you want to be treated the way others are? That you don't want to be singled out? This is the flip side of that coin, Lou.
