i lost something precious before i came to the Republic.

i had planned to bring it over with the dozen or so posts i hosted in the onionhinterland, but i lost it 

i think it shreded it.

or irrecoverabely encrypted it (to myself).

because I couldn't bring it, I chose not to bringover the rest of the posts,  but si I won't, shich I'm sure will not trouble you at all.
