From an anonymous member:

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? :p

We edit every single thread, often from the past, but usually disguised as white space. Fear our time-warped powers! Bwahahahahahaha!

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.

Remember, the most intelligent people in the world are usually the dumbest.
Keep that in mind, genius. ;)

Yep, that's him. :) Kudos for stepping up to take the ribbing that will inevitably come since I posted this. :D

I've always wondered why someone would stick that in their sig. You really want readers to think your post was edited by a third party? whatevah!

Because some people are sensative to being made fun of, and just because I enjoyed his posts didn't mean he deserved to get poked at.

By the way, Einstein, I especially enjoyed the "They're God-damn psychic!" line. :D

I was the first person to do it, and I enjoy confusing a few people every so often. :)
