You're just fine, jgirl106!
As Verwon mentioned over on the Found a Freebies forum, we've all been newbies here at one time and have gone through, making our own mistakes. So please don't feel you're e-specially challenged, anymore than the rest of us.
Make no mistake about it, we're very happy to have you here!
In regards to your Spiru-tein thread disappearing, I'm not sure what happened to it. While I did merge some of your mistakenly duplicate thread/posts for other offers, that was not one of them. The odd thing, is that while the offer had previously been posted (including very recently), I found no direct results in our Advanced Search for same exact ...so I let it stand accordingly. *Per offer, I didn't see any legal restriction prohibiting the reference of republication elsewhere, either.
Afterall, it's a terrific product and I can personally attest that the company does send their samples. From the on-set of trying their product sample, I've since purchased it regularly for my DH. If not for trying the free sample, it very likely would have just been another unknown product, that we would never have tried. Kind of like Luna bars, which I am now 'hooked' on.
Ver has been checking into a few MIA issues w/techs, so perhaps she'll be able to shed some light on this, for all. May just have been a matter of lost thread, while they were updating site. Or Gremlins! Or ???
