   Duh!  At that point, I had read a handful of messages talking about it.  How    
   does saying "your Claudia post" signify that I had seen it?  All I had seen    
   was your post(s) talking about how it hadn't appeared yet!   
      
   And, dude, I've gotta say: you have some *severe* contextual comprehension    
   issues with my posts. Not that I've never been snarky, or sarcastic, but I    
   sure haven't been AT ALL in this particular thread.  I'd say, "When I'm    
   snarky or sarcastic, you'll *know* it...but apparently you won't.

   So *what*? They probably didn't suggest that because I've made a point over    
   the years of saying that I moderate several times a day, every day, which was    
   true up until Feb. 2 of this year when I went in for my shoulder    
   reconstruction, and then got lax/lazy. It *still* doesn't mean anyone is    
   purposefully looking for *your* messages and dumping them.  Which, by the    
   way, is seriously self-centered; no one is that interested in you or your    
   posts. There are definitely people who have posted here in the past that    
   might make someone look for and read their posts carefully in case they need    
   hand moderating, but I don't think you're one of them.  And in NO case would    
   we just dump a post, anyway! As someone pointed out earlier up the thread, if    
   we bounce something it *automatically generates a reason and emails it to    
   you.* Automatically. So you'd know if you were bounced, assuming you can    
   receiving email from the modbot (which I think you have to in order to be    
   registered in the newsgroup).

   No idea. I remember Mac Breck being ticked off at me for something I said    
   about the book series, but I have no clue / no memory of this.
