I have to disagree with you longbowman. We help each other out in many ways on this forum. The specifics of the hit, location, what the deer was doing or how it reacted all can make a difference in the feedback you get from others, and potentially may help you recover your deer. I got some great feedback on my post that helped me find an additional 100 yards or so of blood trail. Unfortunately the buck was not at the end of the blood trail for me, but perhaps for another hunter he will be.
As for waiting a while then asking a general question about tracking... What good would that do? The sign is probably gone, the deer is rotten or eaten, and you won't go out to "track" any sign that still isn't there, therefore losing a chance to get first hand experience so that if (hopefully not) it ever happens again you may be more prepared.
