Can't blame you for the snit. Wish I'd spoken up much sooner. If it's any consolation, I was planning on copying the writeups for my own future use and reference. Sadly, this falls into the category of "woulda, coulda, shoulda."
Patricia, I would never presume to speak for you or pull your words from the ether if you prefer they remain there, but I wonder if Jim's server/network stores "snapshots" of the BB from certain points in time--specifically, before you deleted the writeups--so as to get a text dump of them? It's probably a long shot, but you never know until you ask...
