1998GMC, you can add your legal question to your post by using the "edit post" feature found in the bottom right of your original post, or you can add content by using the "reply to thread." There is no need to start a second thread (in fact, it is preferred that you don't) - this thread can be fixed.
Please be sure to include the name of your state. Thanks.
As a note: It is the "preview post" function on this site that probably worked to delete your content. It is malfunctioning. If you do not preview your post before submission, you should avoid any problem.
