Since Jackie has hinted at it, (over in Misc.) i will tell you the solution to Loan Word from German. I had never posted there, or even tried, but when i did try, i got back a message.. (i didn't save,-- so this is from my dim memory) "your message will be posted when it has been approved" -- a message i had never seen before. so i checked the Forum Information and found...(i added the bold)-- Oh yeah i looked in Loan Words from German, but i copied these details from this forum..

Posts never expire.

but when i checked other forums, the Post approval: Off was selected..

so i copied the info, and sent it to Anu, inquiring if this was deliberate, or an oversight? and an hour later, I had his kind reply, and 12 hours later, i posted my zietgeist post. ( i sent the info to Anu late in the day, and didn't see his response till the next morning.)

all the previous attempts to post are sitting in some never, never land file, waiting for someone to approve them. (and who knows if you ask nice, Anu might yet approve them.!)
i am guessing everyone who as ever attempted to post something to Loan Words from German got the same message, and just never followed up on it.

if you know a phrase embedded in the thread (i.e., the secret password), you can reference it via the search function -- then all will be revealed.

It reminds me of that excellent game "Mornington Crescent".
