Re: searching "old board" user posts
A post on the old MAD board once proved the Book of Mormon was true. Unfortunately, it and most other posts needed to be removed when Dr. Daniel Peterson was requested to testify in the Brian David Mitchell trial (Elizabeth Smart). It was feared that the defense lawyer would use the MAD posts corpus to impeach Dr. Peterson's testimony. No use searching, that proof of the truthfulness of the Book has been removed from the earth. However, Dr. Peterson's testimony at the trial did help establish that Mitchell was not an Old Testament prophet, which if left unchallenged may have swayed a Utah jury (It cannot be overemphasized how influential a person can be when claiming the mantle of a prophet and practicing plural marriage).
The suspect information at the MAD board needed to be sacrificed for the greater end so that Dr. Peterson could bear his witness. It was a fruitful Exhortation and Testimony Meeting. Mitchell was lucky he was not fitted with a noose and placed on a bucking tapir that day once Dr. Peterson finished with "In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen".
What would have impeached Dr. Peterson's testimony? Why Mormon apologetics, of course!
