How dare you use the male pronoun for me. I’m non-binary. I’m decimal. Some days hexadecimal when I’m feeling fancy. I would have gone for a 4096-QAM binary joke but no way my knees could handle that. ---

I think there’s a lag of several minutes between post submission and e-mail generation (at least that’s how it seems in my informal experience), and I think the 🐸 probably got the edit done before that would’ve gone out, anyway. 🤷‍♂️ ✏ Edit: Oh, 🤬!

If just delayed, they could potentially be pre-edit 🙂 . But you’re probably right, probably to give the forum “AI” and mods (and occasionally the user) a chance to clean up their act. ---

> [@dave27](#): > > probably to give the forum “AI” and mods (and occasionally the user) a chance to clean up their act. This is my guess, since there are timers built into the platform for other things, like being unable to “unlike” a post after a preset amount of time. ---

# premature email creation Circa 1994 Peter Tauber, with whom I shared AOL (free) forum space for a year or so. Two cheap (illegitimates) trading barbs.

Funny! Clancy was another forum ‘spook’ (anonymous screen names all around) though I had no interaction with him that I know of. Also the days when cities still maintained their own community bulletin boards for serious citizen stuff. And then… now. ---
