I found this old thread from 2011

The best answer is where you'd expect it to be but it's not in amongst the other answers.

Click on Judge Nutmeg's avatar and nothing comes up.

Is this a blip where all of his posts should have been deleted? I'm not asking about the ABer, just why this has happened.

Must be a banned poster, hc4361.

Judge Nutmeg had a (legitimate) name change to Steven_G

I like your way of thinking, divebuddy. :)

Thanks for the explanation, sunny-dave. It is odd that all his previous posts as Judge Nutmeg were purged except for that one, maybe 'best answers' escape the scythe.

I don't think they were purged- it looks like the name change programme was retrospective -hence all the Steven_G posts showing from 2008 etc

A result of the 2013 Username Amnesty

Ah. Looks like the username escaped the name change, then. :)

I was so thrilled to get my capital 'M'.

I agree Mamya,..I hate to see names with a lower case
