Yes, just hold off.  The powers that be are going to perform the 
7/5/2009 restore tonight or tomorrow.  Still, the members and 
messages that were deleted will still be gone until I can merge their 
content back in somehow when I locate my May or June backup later.

I'm going to do a huge cleanup besides studying the logs to see who 
did what to delete certain members AND their messages.  It's a mess 
trying to read the logs by eye because all of the HTTP requests are 
listed as they are made and not per IP address.  The last hack showed 
that a user manually performed some operations and then had the nerve 
to post a message bragging about it.  They guessed my password 
because it was too simple.

Not all CoCo users are good guys.  There are some bad ones out there 
who might even be reading our posts and possibly even participating, 
watching, waiting, planning.  With all the angry spells I've seen 
here (far beyond any typical debate I've been involved in, myself), 
it's no surprise that there might be a few people who want to bring 
it all down if they can.

If I had to take a good guess, it would be h*xst*r.
