First, I want to say the posts are still all here. I did have to move some into more appropriate positions, but there is a pointer in the original position.
Simply click on your name and your profile page will open. Then, select the tab that says "Posts". It shows every post you've made. You can do the same on anyone to see their activity.
Second, as far as the people coming here and posting, ALL are encouraged-STRONGLY-to come check out what has been done to get a heads-up on what may be required. Few there are who follow through. Those that do are generally successful. Those that don't, well, you can fill in the blank there.

Damned USPTO. I wonder how many good inventions get dropped because the inventor is pushed for so long he gave up.
I am NOT THAT KIND O'GUY!
I work on the principle espoused by Captain James Taggart of Galaxy Quest fame:
"NEVER give up! NEVER SURRENDER!!!"
