No need to apologize.
You do understand the meaning of "this," "try," and "instead," but combined--and in context, without a reader's adding an overlay of preconceived interpretation--the clause,"try this instead," refers to the ability to locate (any) post.
Had I said, "try this instead, in order to read the post that you indicate that you want to read," you might have had a point.
It doesn't matter. ^ I just wish that OMNI hadn't been opened to Google so that a lot of us are concerned about those issues now and therefore posting about things to be wary of in deleting posts. That issue is a lot more important than an OT discussion of this sort.
