What I'm wondering is why a totally different post with a different URL, different content, seemed to replace it to begin with it, starting this whole question.

Thanks again to all the wonderful member support!

They have completely different URLs--and I never changed the URL. How could this happen? Anyone know?

I did some more forum searching to see if anyone else has ever had this happen--and indeed, it does look rare. In the process, I came across the post below by RAINCOASTER which echoed something that intrigued me that TIMETHIEF said about Google Cache above---and I found a cached copy of my post there!!!! I'd still like to know what happened. Perhaps the cached version can offer some clues.

Here's Raincoaster's suggestion from an old forum post:
Check the major search engines, using the title of the post. They probably have a cached version in there. Yahoo tends to be the best, but there are lots of others.

If you have a copy of the post I would simply go ahead and post it again, rather than waiting. If I didn't have a copy I would be re-constructing it. Do you have a copy?

(via email?) at this point, i am just as interested in understanding WHAT happened as well as the possibility of recovering a morning's worth of inspirational work

Once it was gone though, it didn't even show up in drafts or recent activity.

IT's one reason I always Select All, Copy All before posting.

If it's not in Drafts or Unpublished, then I suggest you contact staff http://support.wordpress.com/contact

I've tried my external hard drive which doesn't seem to support documents saved on the web. I've looked in my WP drafts and recent activity--to find no sign at all of the original work--and I've tried my back browser. Other ways? THANK YOU!!!

Interestingly enough, the facebook link says that the page no longer exists, while the twitter shortlink takes me to a page I just recently posted. I am completely perplexed as this recently posted page has a entirely different url: http://kellysalasin.wordpress.com/2009/12/10/new-year-kyd-session2010/. I've never had anything like this happen before.
