   Hi, Mike Powell!   
   I read your message from 20.02.2024 14:45   
      
    AH>>> Depends on what the fence was made of. I think Gleb has a point   
    AH>>> in that this announcement may have been written on a scrap of   
    AH>>> cardboard which the protagonist attached to the fence using   
    AH>>> whatever came readily to hand.... :-)   
      
    ak>> IMHO when you say "to post" it implies the mail service. Give me   
    ak>> an example if am wrong. At the very least the man could nail his   
    ak>> message. :)   
      
    MP> It can mean that. I think that meaning is more often used in   
    MP> British English than here in America.   
      
    MP> It can also mean to attach a message to a physical cork bulletin   
    MP> board, wall, fencepost, telephone pole, etc., such as "I posted a   
    MP> for sale flyer on the break room bulletin board" or "I posted the   
    MP> lost pet flyers to several phone poles in the neighborhood."   
      
   I see. And indeed any noun in English can be converted into a verb. So, if we   
   have a lamp post we can post a message. ;-)   
      
   Bye, Mike!
