I had this notification today that tsuwm had replied to one of my posts.
In reply to:


tsuwm replied to your post at the site: AWADtalk.
http://wordsmith.org/board/showthreaded.pl?Cat=&Board=wordplay&Number=31704


And that was it, no indication of what he'd said. So, since I couldn't find any empty post from tsuwm when I looked through the new posts, I tried clicking on the url. The message in question was Dr. Bill's piece on salmon redds. Neither tsuwm nor I have contributed to that thread, and even more mysteriously the whole thread, which is in Q&A, has been duplicated under wordplay and fun.

OK, that decides it, we need a standing thread for these weirdnessessees of the board's architecture™ I sugest we call it The Ex Files

Forgive me, but I may have inadvertently created a problem. I deleted that post, and put it into the "redd" thread.

or it could have been me (or a. and b. only) -- I responded to your post in 'hogwash -- LAST CHANCE), the last in the thread at that time, and then deleted it, thereby bringing the thread back to the top.

Hmm, 31703 http://wordsmith.org/board/showthreaded.pl?Cat=&Board=wordplay&Number=31703 is a post by tsuwm, but it's a response to Inselpeter. Would the number of the post have been reassigned if a post before it had been deleted?

Ah, what a tangled web we weave!

I tried to pull your leg about getting your post twice a day, but the (g)host in the machine obviously didn't think it was funny enough, replying to me:

The host you are trying to send the input from is not a valid host.

Is that because I caught it mid-edit?
