There had been a small thread on ATS consisting of a few posts regarding this case, had added a message of my own, then on the day of Amanda Knox's trial in Perugia all the messages were gone from ATS, just at the point in time when it seemed most likely a few more people would contribute and read the few posts there were.

Have no idea as to whether that should concern people or not. There didn't seem to be anything particularly objectionable about any responses, no swearing, nothing, perfectly reasonable responses mindful of ATS etiquette........then thought "the day Knox will have appeared on trial in the witness stand should result in some more additions to the thread...." ........to find the thread had disappeared. It's not there, have used ATS search engine with various words, it isn't there.

Maybe this writer is wrong. Even if one response was objectionable, that wouldn't explain deleting the whole lot.

My post expressed interest in Meredith Kercher's surname looking similar to the surname Kircher, the main name involved in keeping care of, and attempting to decipher, the Voynich manuscript, the inception of which mystery looks somewhat propinquitious (geographically) to the inception of the Meredith Kercher case, now maybe we are over-credulous, imaginatively reactive sorts, but the Voynich manuscript is the only script of such calligraphic inscrutability, which has been refused duplication and dissemination in the public domain.....you can only look at it in an American university....either way, my interest in the case has gone from contributing a post to the only small thread there was about the Kercher case, to seeing all the posts deleted that there were about the Kercher case on ATS.....is that another mystery?

Should the few people who had contributed to the thread on Kercher & Knox be notified of this? Amanda Knox is innocent, in my opinion, which was also the general drift of ATS thoughts about the Kercher case.
