user199: I made a comment -- superficially flippant, perhaps, but in fact carefully constructed given the context -- to this answer. However, it appears to have been deleted, but I can't be sure because I never saw any notification of the deletion. Is that normal, or should one see a notice (and reason) for a comment deletion?

user32: You won't normally see notifications of deletion. Comments are frequently deleted on SE websites as a matter of bookkeeping, especially +1s etc.
