Teo, I had to check because I didn't recall ever going into that question. :-)

Thanks Will. I asked the question soon after joining Mathoverflow, before I had a gut sense of what was appropriate. The discussions on Mathoverflow a couple of years ago did serve to get the tetration and fractional iteration folks on the same page, so that was a victory. I can now hazard a guess that the answer to my questions is that it comes down to the convergence of different fractionally iterated functions.

Vanished indeed, and in Google's cache you can't see much (at least on my screen), except of course for AK's unmistakable gravatar :)

In view of OP's request and having looked over the question and the related old meta-thread, I cast the first vote to delete.
