New posts don't start on the front page. They start on the "new" page. They don't make the front page unless they get several votes in the first few minutes. If you're used to some other site where new posts start on the front page and then drop down over time, this might surprise you and make you think your post was removed or pushed down. That is not the case. Also, I think you owe pg an apology.
