My ectoplasm supply is fragile and tends to fade quickly. Sorry

I do not know what Phantom Trader's secret is. However, "they" sure as hell got to Groucho Marx and his Collective Bargaining post pretty damn quickly.

Remember, say the Secret Word and the duck will come down and delete your posts

[the secret word is "Collective Bargaining"]

As an FYI, I have deleted no posts from this thread or the PTJ video thread.

So then, Phantom Trader must be deleting his own posts in an attempt to add levity to the situation?

Did the moderator also not delete the couple of Groucho Marx posts elsewhere ?

I should expand my statement to say that I have deleted no posts from any thread in the last month or so.

So is anyone (be it Mr Phantom or anyone else) able to "break into" the site ?

Perhaps time to change the password ?

There are other moderators, along with, obviously, Baron, who can delete posts anywhere. I did not see the content of the deleted posts, other than a couple of Phantom Trader's "articles" that were removed. It is possible another moderator saw a breach of the terms of service and decided to remove posts. Further than this, I prefer not to speculate.
