what is up with ALL of your posts being edited by the moderator??? Jesus.
oh, it says you posted a message at 11:39 on 11/21/05, and the moderator edited it at 10:19 p.m. on 2/2/05. You've been pwned in the past. They're God-damn psychic!

I replied something like, "huh, are you sure the time stamp is right? It doesn't show updated way back then for me."

nope another in the YAGT: Women = wrong men = right thread- you posted at 11:41 p.m. and it says it was edited by a moderator at 8:49 p.m.

another one, in the dialect of English thread- edited at 8:49, posted at 11:39

post in the forum issues about this?

They're after you..........

I said something like, "think about it a little. 😉"

and? if you posted it at 11:39 and he edited it at 8:59p.m., same day, then that is not possible-javascript error, methinks. did you check your past posts? because that is what is coming up for me. :thumbsup:

I replied again, "think more. 🙂"

my brain is overclocked right now.......................... nope nothing more is coming. Every post by you, I am seeing an edit by a moderator, with an impossible time. what am I not seeing?

Heh. I've gotten several PMs on this and I usually just reply back, "think about it," and they get it pretty quickly. This one is pretty persistent.

Anybody want to enlighten my helpful informant? 😛


you have an admirer, deal with it. :lips:

Oh my f-ing God. I am going to go ballistic. I have been chained, shot, whipped, smacked, slapped silly, raped, owned, and any other negative past-tense verb done to me in the last 15 min. I accept full responsibility for not seeing this. Wow. I don't deserve to post in the highly technical forum anymore, and my name should be changed from Einstein to Retarded dumb-fuk. Thanks for the laugh. :thumbsup:

oh, and thanks for keeping me anonymous, but I'll take the credit.
She's gotten a lot of mileage out of that sig of hers, don't worry about it.

And remember, you're not the only one who's answering to her around here. She's pwned many people, you won't be the last. 😛

Bump - I got another PM asking what got edited out of my post by the mod. 🙂 I've had a few others between starting this thread and now - I may start bumping it whenever I get the question. 🙂

And THAT is whay you are banned. Enjoy your vacation.

Is it safe to inform the mod that "whay" isn't a word? 😕

Edit: Inform seemed like a better word to use than warn.

Real edit: Dangit. Hit quote not edit 😕

hate to ruin all the fun, but the real "Edited:" text is slightly smaller than all the other text, so you can tell what's real and what's not
