Does anyone know what's going on here?

Unrelated comment: over the last ten or twenty entries in your journal, I'm seeing a disturbing frequency (low, but nonzero) of comments from regular posters that are just totally blank. A few with 'edited at' italic lines, but most not. Posters that I do not recall having a history of posting blank comments.

For example, on this post they are, in order:
realinterrobang's second followup to martianmooncrab's comment
kithrup's followup to neowolf2's comment
realinterrobang's followup to xiphias' comment, and to jhetley's comment
beamjockey's comment (so it's not just followups to comments)

Comments

My comment wasn't empty when I wrote it -- it was "Run to the patent office!" or somesuch.

I never edited it.

Looks like data loss?
