Gery, very few of my edits have been oversighted,
so I'm sure you can
still find the post in question, if it ever existed.
Why would any of your edits be oversighted?
Because after oversight was created JayJG systematically erased some
amount of SV's history, presumably in an honest attempt to make life
harder for some of the aggressive jerks trying to track her down.
This much is public knowledge because for at least a little while the
oversights logs were public
(

and because someone (Judd Bagley) used old Wikipedia dumps to recover
some of the oversighted evidence and though that discover Sarah's
"sweetbluewater" 'sock' account. So, unfortunately, the use of
oversight managed to degrade accountability which is an unfortunate
risk of oversight.
