someone (who shall remain nameless for the nonce) has been posting and deleting (a whole lot of) posts this weekend, I suppose in the effort to (artificially) boost post count.
what a silly thing....

And why?

And what a waste of time.

But why? What's the big deal?

I wish the person in question would provide an answer...???

If anybody wants to up their post counts, why don't they look up the spelling bee words,
and post about them. I have just about finished the Baltimore list, but if somebody else
wants to do the donkey work of posting from the National one, I'd be glad to abdicate
in their favor. I sure am not intested in upping my count, which is a bit embarrassing.

No, et, you're not going mad. Apparently (mebbe) somebody else is.

Can something be amiss with the software somewhere? I noticed it at post No. 200, exactly, and than post No. 406.

But do we really care/mind? Unless it's slowing down the Board noticeably?

activity on the board was itself too slow for this to matter but. having a forum constantly being flagged "new" and then finding nothing there was at least a nuisance..

There ;may be a gremlin in the software. About a week ago, I sent message to webmaster
because a whole bunch of old posts had "New" after them, which was not removed even
after I looked at them several times.

Well, now you all have me thoroughly confused. As though this isn't odd enough for a stranger to navigate, I see that I am not crazy, but that something is amiss here. I'll just keep scrounging around trying to get a handle on things.

I am having fun following all of you....
