Come to think about it, the moderator seems incommunicado. 

When I first started on Fido, we had a crachety moderator on a city-wide
Gardening echo. When I wrote "Crotching" one day to describe a
trees growth tendency, she hit the roof, *it* hit the fan, and she exposed
herself as a numbskull. Ever since, I'm rather reluctant to push limits.

"Bastard" while too often misused, is little understood for its
true meaning. Sometimes moderators only run their pattern recognition, and
fly up a flagpole before they buy a dictionary, or understand the topic
they are professing to be an expert on.

BTW, d'ya hear the definition of expert?

X       prefix -meaning has been
spurt   noun ...Ahhhh, you're trying to get me in trouble again! 



... No, no, nurse!        I said, "PRICK his BOIL!"
