Thanks for restoring the question. It is a reasonable follow-on from the material in the Primer. Totally not clear to me why it was posted and then deleted.

Thank you for the info! Too bad - I hoped to read more about it.

EDIT: The question resurrected! Thank you, high-rep colleagues!

If you are referring to http://mathoverflow.net/questions/98296/steinmetz-laplace-and-fourier-transforms, it was deleted by the person who posted it. It hadn't received any answers or comments.

Just wondering (I didn't want to start a new thread): what happened to the Steinmetz transform question? It seemed legit.

I voted to undelete. If two other 10Ks do the same, the question will magically reappear.

Dear Zev - Thank you very much. Nice to know that I didn't imagine the whole thing... Please let me know if anything occurs.

For the record, here is the math.SE post and here is the MO post (currently only visible to 10k+ users on the respective sites since they are deleted). I will send a message to the user on math.SE asking why they deleted their question.

I answered a question earlier today (2012/06/02 GMT) about minimal position of a curve with its image under a Dehn multi-twist. Now the question seems to have disappeared. The question was perfectly fine, and I had to think a bit to give a clear answer. So I am left wondering what happened to the question and to my answer! I think that the question was asked by a 1 point user, perhaps named sean. The question was definitely crossposted to SE - the question seems to have also disappeared from that website... it is all very confusing.
