Thanks! For both the link and the sentiment.
Am I reading the link right, or have I smoked too much?
Not a single block rejected for four (4) years?

Take a look here: https://forkmonitor.info/feeds/stale_candidates/btc.rss
What I posted earlier were orphans, this link is for what happens when 2 pools find a block at just about the same time and it becomes a race to see who wins.

Either way it's the same for the people transacting.

Both blocks have your transaction = no change
One block (winner) has it the looser does not = no change
One block (looser) has it the winner does not = that TX will be in the next block (give or take depending on space) slightly longer wait.

In the end, transactions do not just disappear.
