I queried and found missing posts throughout my entire database, not just within the last 3 weeks.

But -- I found that if I just OPEN a blank post as EDIT, and then RE-SAVE it, that it comes back -- LIKE MAGIC!!

See this as an example

Wow... i'm so glad NOT to lose that first posting. Based upon this, I'm going to rebuild the entire database.

Thanks for the ideas and tips.
