I don't see anything else in my inbox, so maybe that discussion only
hit the mailing list partially.

ciao,
Torsten.

I didn't remove anything.

Please forward me an email that you think was a post & now missing.

It is possible that it was a direct email to your address, not via the list, perhaps?

Please read the first pinned post, posts here will not generally get seen so people won't see them.
You may want to post the above message as an email to the Mailing-list.

Thanks for the tip, reading is a skill that I should use more often.

That means mike posted that via the web interface on Nabble after the cutover (I think). I was
advising him to use the Mailing-list

Nabble removed mailing list support, so local posts went nowhere.

[this post went AWOL, so resending]

Sorry, I misinterpreted that.

You are talking about a thread in Empathy from 2021.

That is just around the time the Mailing-list was migrated from Nabble to a Mailman3 list.
Old threads were migrated by the new provider, some threads at the time may have got missed?

If life depended on it, we do have a backup, but I suspect you wouldn't want to go through that
effort.

There is no longer any indication of what it was all about.

I do everything via the list, treating it as a forum, and, unfortunately as it turns out, I delete the corresponding e-mails within a day or two.

The thread was about a crossed toothed belt.

Exploring Espacenet, I came across patent application US 2024328492 which is about linkages with a crossed belt. The earliest application (priority date) is July 20, 2021, in Australia. So the applicant would have taken 11 days to draw up and file his application, had he reacted to the thread immediately, though it might have been simpler than the US application mentioned. If he was somewhere in the hot and dusty outback, mail delivery to the patent office would probably have taken up most of the 11 days.

Again, fascinating, but probably not much use. Not a life-threatening discovery. Just made me wonder . . .
