So, I posted a response to the single entry down on the Loan words from German thread, just to remove the "one posts" tag on the thread on the the main index page. After I sent the post, I noticed that the thread still said, "one posts." I thought, "Hmmm. I must have screwed it up." So, I redid the post, and sent it again. As I sent it, I saw a message that that portion of the board is monitored, and that there might be a delay (in the case of my post, I suppose, an infinite delay) before the post displayed.
I have never noticed any monitored spots on this board before. Is it just that one? Anybody know why?

could it possibly mean that The Great One was lurking there, making some editorial change?

The board's legal eagle noted As I sent it, I saw a message that that portion of the board is monitored, and that there might be a delayDamn! I thought the FBI had scared the CIA away completely. You are aware, of course, that AWADtalk has been used by America's internal and external covert surveillance agencies as a portal into "unfriendly" countries like New Zealand because we won't play with nuclear toys. There was a dark sedan with smoked glass windows parked outside my house all night last night. I checked around the edge of the lace curtains every half hour. It wasn't there this morning. But there was my car, parked where it had been. Spooky! Sinister, in fact. Come to think of it, cross-threadedly, they were probably all left-handed and related to you! As a professional ambulance-chaser, do you think you can winkle the information out of them? Bill Anu for any time you use!

Maybe the posts have to be written in perfect German. I couldn't do that. Maybe the Germans are not willing to loan us any more words. Do we owe them money for the words we already got? Have we been targeted by hackers? Careful CK, you'll have me brainstorming again, and you'd regret that.

wwh quoth Careful CK, you'll have me brainstorming again, and you'd regret that.No, no, Bill, not the brainstorm again! Use the rubber hose or the electrodes or even force splinters under my fingernails and turn torture into an Olympic sport, but NOT the brainstorm again, p-u-l-e-e-e-z-e! Incidentally, AEnigma wants to turn p-u-l-e-e-e-z-e into "Pullitzer". Sometimes its would-be corrections are just so sureally apt!

I think someone ought to tell Enigma how to spell Pulitzer.
Pulitzer Prizes, series of 21 awards for outstanding achievements in drama, letters, music, and journalism. They were established by the will of Joseph Pulitzer, publisher of the New York World. They have been awarded annually since 1917 by Columbia University on recommendation of The Pulitzer Prize Board.
