*sigh*
This is my fault. To make a long technical story somewhat shorter, when a story gets submitted to the archive, the filename that gets created is a combination of the title and the minute and second that it was submitted; this system was supposed to ensure that there wouldn't be any duplicated filenames ... I mean what are the odds that someone would submit a story with an identical title AND do so at exactly the same minute and second that another one was submitted? Granted there are 24 times during the day that would generate the same minute and second combination, but still the odds aren't that great!
Charlieje managed to hit the jackpot with Tim's Last Orgasm 12 ... it generated an identical filename as Chapter 4 of the same story.
Charlie graciously resubmitted Chapter 4, and in me zeal to delete the 'old' Chapter 4 so it wouldn't show up in the index twice I didn't think that by deleting the old Chapter 4 I was actually deleting the file for Chapter 12!
It's all terribly confusing ... so long story short ye olde Archivist blew this one big time. I have sent a note to Charlie to see if he will be kind enough to re-post chapter 12, which I will be careful NOT to delete!
