I think @Hypatia's Protege is an English Prof

Thats what I figured.. Retired English Professor, Patent Attorney or just someone attempting to hide some other "issues"/Napoleon Complex..
I wonder if he/she drives a yellow Hummer

Come on Hypathia.. let the cat out of the bag..
Do you have an "innie" or an "outie"?

all in fun of course...

 

Waiting to see the innie or the ouitie ..........

 

Waiting to see the innie or the ouitie ..........

No, no, we don't need to see THAT!

 

If you guys havent noticed HP is holding an axe.

 

But after seeing the "relationship" that "he" and Aleph(0) have and "her" avatar picture I just assumed Hypatia was the "dude" and Aleph(0) was the "chick".. But I guess those sort of assumptions arent "PC" now a days

To clear the air --"Aleph" is an immediate blood relative - so no worries...-- Not that there's anything wrong with that

With profuse apologies to J. Seinfeld et al.

Great Thread, people! A morning is always better with a laugh.
I think I'll stay out of this one because it was only yesterday I accused HP of running over a dog with a snow blower. I think I've used up my teasing privileges for a few days.

 

@jrap

It would be nice if there was a note indicating that comments are reviewed before they become visible. It could take up to 72 hours for a review, considering three day weekends.

HP's original thread, leading to jrap's response, gave us a peek at that detail of website operations. Even delayed responses, can raise the "censorship flag." I know that jrap stated there is no censorship, and I believe him, but in today's instant gratification society, perception is reality.

I noticed there is no place for someone to put in a name or handle and email address, maybe the site should allow only comments from "registered" users, as that boosts their digital membership numbers. That will work if there is a validating routine for the membership registration. It's been so long since I registered, I can't remember if I got an email to confirm the registration.

I had absolutely no idea what the comment meant so it is no skin off my nose it did not appear right away.

Best I can figure, HP was calling those that like to experiment with Aduino morons.

In all fairness there may be such a notice -- Submission of my comment was immediately followed by an 'orange screen' error message --- Which is by no means an excuse for my 'knee-jerk' reaction!

I WANNA SEE THE THREAD. Cause beside the apology I have no clue what so freakin ever why HP apologized.
On a lighter note, a innie or an outie?

The subject of my apology is the thread entitled "Arduino strikes again"
When, having posted a comment to This article, I received an error message and my comment didn't (immediately) display - idiocy ensued

Thanks for your concern...

Best regards
HP

What would make you happier? After all, you'd like to see it either way, right?

 

@Hypatia's Protégé

I went and checked one of the "articles" and looked at the comment section. There was no information there concerning my comments. If there were, I would have said you failed to adhere to the warning about delayed visibility.

As this site goes under it's changes, there are things not addressed ... as I don't think the management knows all there is to know, as I believe no one does. It takes little "faults" being brought to their attention so they can address the issue. Had you not posted, we would have never known about the "delayed visibility" of the comments.

p.s. I have no association with AAC other than being a common member. I have been using forums and discussions of varying formats since the mid 1990s, including IRC chat, NNTP, and even threaded discussion groups.

 

When you post a comment to an article (or at least when I do,) there is a notice that all comments are moderated before they are made public.

Thank you for clearing the air, HP! To me, it was obvious that your relationship with @Aleph(0), was much more intimate than me and @joeyd999 ! Your sanguine relationship must have had a basis in more than casual friendship. A blood relationship is easy to understand.

 

...was much more intimate than me and joeyd999!

Wait. What?

 

HUH !

Be that what it may - my (initial) OP and thread title were uncalled for

Many thanks for your input
