The posts you replied to were in Beep Me, not in Natter, and yours and billytea's got deleted for nattering in a no-natter zone.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Am-Chau, that wasn't Natter. But it was natter. That was in Beep Me, and billytea deleted his post, and DX deleted yours.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Yup. I posted without noticing what thread I was in. Deleted it once I realised. (Read New's a great function, but I'm still coming to grips with one or two of the implications.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Am, both you and billytea posted your responses to sa in Beep Me, not Natter. Beep Me is a no natter zone, which is why billytea deleted his post, and I stompied your's.

Right. That's what I get for being confused about where I'm posting. Still getting to grips with Read New, etc.

No worries, Am-Chau. I've done it, too, and got stomped.
edit: It's really a shame we can't actually put some kind of warning in the posting box, itself, for no natter threads. You can do it in Access forms.

That would be a help. If the posting box said 'No Natter Here', it would be much easier to avoid things like that. Which are very, very embarassing.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Out of curiosity, since it was my post they were replying to, what did you guys say?

As I recall, (and I'll move this to Bitches if BBaBB is Natter-free) Billytea quoted your last line "Jesus we have a lot of shit" and added, "It's a little known fact that this appeared in the first draft of the Book of Common Prayer, but was edited out before they went to press," to which I replied "Billytea, I must stop drinking before I read your posts. In fact, I think your tag should have a health warning in." Roughly- no swearing to accuracy here.

Thanks for all the fish.
Okay, this has happened twice. I was in natter, typed a message, hit post and I got a screen that had the header, but nothing else. No posts. No buttons. Nothing. Went backwards and forward - nothing. Then someone else posted and I was able to read things.
Now the same thing is happening in Buffy. I'm not sure exactly what is going on.
The first time I cleaned up some html in my post and things came out fine. This time, I haven't gotten to see the message that, I presume, is messing me up.
