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 (http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/Oversight/HideRev...) 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.
