The posts were just a series of personal attacks completely unrelated to the original topic (which some people might have found useful, but was buried by your posts) and to the purpose of these forums as a whole. It's not surprising that they went poof.
That said, I think twistor's economic insight is correct (also see what happened to Cornell's endowment -- another reason why more TAs might not be in the cards).
