    # for reblogs of deleted statuses.
    #
    # To achieve this, we redefine the internal method responsible for issuing
    # the "INSERT" statement and replace the "INSERT INTO ... VALUES ..." query
    # with an "INSERT INTO ... SELECT ..." query with a "WHERE deleted_at IS NULL"
    # clause on the reblogged status to ensure consistency at the database level.

    # Otherwise, the code is kept as close as possible to ActiveRecord::Persistence
    # code, and actually calls it if we are not handling a reblog.
