I sent Mark an email explaining the situation. here it is:
"Hi Mark,
Our web hosting service had a problem with the server we are on
and restored from a back-up tape that was a day old; therefore,
losing all the messages that were posted during that time period.
Unfortunately, several of your messages were posted during that
"black hole" period.

This has never happened before; although, we occasionally have
other problems. I would not anticipate it happening in the future.

Regards, Steve
