 * hi,
 * for several months now someone/something has been dropping the posts table irregularly
   on my blog. I’ve been unable to find anything that is doing it and its becoming
   increasingly frustrating.
 * Does anyone have ANY suggestions on where i should be looking to stop this from
   happening
