Is it my imagination, or did a thread disappear?

I'm pretty sure there was a thread titled "Where were you 43 years ago today?" I saw it before I headed to the post office this morning. I assume it was about JFK, (you know, the guy who's on the half dollar), and was planning on responding to it when I got back from doing my shipping. Now it seems to have vanished. Did it turn in to a flamefest or something?

    Not that I saw; it was probably just considered OT. Though I did post a Kennedy to try to keep it on-topic.

    Yeah, I guess a story about a guy presenting his "Penny" collection to his 6th grade class on the day President Kennedy was killed is considered OT for a coin forum. image

    Hey, I know! Somebody quick start an AT/NT thread.

    It's time to those that have the PO01 Kennedys to start a thread. I have always enjoyed looking at those coins. It would be appropriate today.

    So whats the deal ? Every year a thread pops up like the one you nuked. Relax a little it does the heart good. If a Kennedy thread popped up every day the nuke action would be warranted. This time its very iffy.

    The thread, after full consideration by the commission, was deemed to have been one thread, acting alone, from the 6th floor of the schoolbook depository.

    Personally, I think it may be behind the grassy knoll.

    I replied to that thread, telling what I did 43 years ago.
    Nothing porno or gross at all in what I said.
    Wonder why they zapped it?
    After all, we wouldn't have the Kennedy half dollar if JFK hadn't been killed 22 November 1963.

    Ray, that thinking makes no sense. following that logic, it would be reasonable to have a discussion about the different species of eagles in the world just because they're on U.S. Coins.

    When JFK was shot and they decided to put him on the half, didn't they have to modify a 25 year minting law to prematurely stop the production of the Franklin half?

    I remember that time well, Keets. I was an 18 year old Army PFC when Kennedy was killed.
    He was a popular president, and the switch from the Franklin half to the Kennedy half was absolutely due to public sentiment at the time, over his asassination.
    Kennedy probably would never would have been on a coin, otherwise.

    I was pooping my diaper and sucking a bottle when Kennedy was assasinated.

    When does this thread go *poof*?

    Since pooping and sucking bottles is typical coin forum fare, it won't. Thank goodness the OF is gone. The CF is finally getting on track.

    And like a few other have said it really remindes me that Basic Training was a long time age.

    A speach by that man inspired a 19 year old to jion the Air Force back them.

    It also made me as a older man put together a collection of the coins bearing his likeness.
