Is this the first time a contributor has had his handle used as the Word for Today?
Interesting that the young lady was a maverick because she chose to study worm sex. I remember very vividly the only time I ever saw an earthworm sex orgy. I was night telephone operator at McLean Hospital, and one early April morning at first light left switchboard to look out window. There on the lawn were thousands of earthworms copulating. I couldn't time the duration, but they were all gone by the time the sun was up. No early bird was early enough dine on doubles.
It seems to me that that the Army has a special meaning for maverick. A mustang was a West Point cadet appointed from the enlisted men, I think. Perhaps maverick referred to officers trained at the other military schools. Corrections invited.
Ok, Anna-- I was very confused myself, trying to track down the "sad that..." line. It is all too easy to convince me that I have lost my mind (as this is in fact often the case), but I believe the good doctor must have deleted it from his post, subsequent to my copying it.
As to, "'Scuse me, but this is not the same as our lovely Anna's name.", that was in response to Faldage's subject title, which I presume was meant to tell me that I had committed a faux pas by saying maverick was the only handle used as the W.A.D. And, I guess you can just do a subject title, then hit Submit, and you get the empty box as a post.

I fear that the secret of posting an empty post shall remain unknown to all but the serengyrating few.
This touches on YART status, since it was a proposed solution to the oh-woe-is-me*-too-many-posts-to-read crisis that struck this board some months ago. It was, at best, roundly ignored as utterly useless.
as long as we're just swotting the tse-tse here ASp, is there some explanation attendant to the use of roger wilcox (as opposed to wilco), and congratulations on gravitating to the e-less lexical emoticon.[wooo-woo-woo]
