What happens if you push the little button at the bottom of each message which sez "Notify Moderator"?

presumably the Moderator(s) will get an email linking to said message. it would be used when someone mis-uses an apostrophe, for example.

when someone mis-uses an apostrophe
The misuse of apostrophes is a serious national, even global, problem. When an apostrophe is forced to work in an unsuitable environment, it is a deprivation of that mark's punctuational liberties. The United Nations Commissioner for Typographical Rights should have a button by which such violations are instantly reported, I'd say.

non-sense! all the symbols on the top row of the key board ache to be used, and never object to exactly how they are used. the swell with pride when long discussion of use (or mis use) go on. they have their moment in the sun.
the poor carot([green]^[/green]) is green with envy at this discussion, (is it so rarely included) since the internet, @,once only since on invoices and bills, has had to adjust to publisity, but its managed, and tilde (~) long ago realized it would never acheive the same populartity as the right hand symbols, Ampersand,(&), asterix, (*) and the constantly on demand and in use Paren twins, or the dash, the underline. Even the plus and equal symbols get used far more regularly, then the tilde (which further suffers from the shame at the number of people who don't even know its title, and never consider a discussion of its correct use.
It, and accent mark it shares a key with, long for the day when the US is bi-lingual. It dream of spanish text, and el nino's properly expressed!

I think Whitty meant "buzz" in a good way.

Not to worry; he was just dropping bait, and I chose to rise to it! [snap, snap]!
