Why is this January 22 post no longer visible on my site?

-
To lifeinalane: I checked the draft, “where now” and it was largely empty.
How is it that my draft(s) is(are) visible to you?To macmanx: Thanks for taking a look at this stream. How private are my drafts? Who, if anyone, can access things that are not published?
-
I can access them because I work here, and you can.
The draft is largely empty, but take a look at the revisions below it: http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-revisions/#restoring-revisions

To macmanx,
1. What I found on the draft “Where Now” was not put there by me. How can this happen, if indeed it can?
2. I presume that staff can access my WordPress blog at any time.
3. When I classify this thread as “resolved” will that reduce accessability for non-staff “members” to access my drafts, etc?
4. Can a member actually put text or links on my drafts?
I appreciate the help everyone has given me and would like to resolve this thread but would like to know how secure my blog is before doing so. I hope you can help me here. I know you must be busy.
Thanks.

To macmanx,
Please Ignore question 1. Sorry, I thought the example of how to check and compare revisions was actually MY draft. So embarrassing. I saw the Buckshot etc post as a revision to Where Now.
I did refer to the Buckshot post in February, which must have meant it was active at that time, since I create a link by first going to that particular post in my blog and opening it.
This means that the Buckshot post was still up at its original address in February. If it disappeared, it was done sometime after I linked to it in February.
Neither does it explain how the Where Now draft got the Buckshot data.
The Buckshot blog was done on my PC – it’s way too long and complex to compose on my iPod Touch. This is in answer to your question on your first post on this thread.
I do use my iPod for simple blogs, but do not like using the slow, small screen because it’s so easy to screw up. I use it for simple posts or to view my website and do simple edits of bigger posts.

Only staff members and yourself can access your Dashboard. The other volunteers here can only view your site and offer answers based on that.

Thank you, macmanx. I feel more relaxed now, though there are still unresolved questions about how it could have happened.
Maybe it’s something I did on my @#$%^#$ iPod Touch, but on January 22 itself??? My puzzler is sore.
-
It is entirely possible. Either way, it shouldn’t happen now as long as you’re using version 3.5.2 or higher of the app.
-
3.5.2 it is.
Thanks very much for all your help.
As far as I’m concerned, this thread is resolved.
