No, Houston, it's even scarier than that!!!

What you see now is what I left it as after I edited it to remove a (possibly, to some) offensive word having to do with the categorization of a person (or persons) as a 2774653.

However, BEFORE I edited it someone seems to have brought it to the attention of UT management. They didn't have the 22556 to tell me directly that they found it offensive!... whihe, *IF* they had had the fortitude to do so would have meant that I couldn't edit it (can't edit once answered).

So what we got here is not a 1984 scenario, but rather a MacCarthy era tactic of fingering people for ulterior reasons. In this case the UT management gets to do the dirty work and the complainant gets away scott-free!

>>>Actually, I've yet to see the marker being referred to anywhere (and in any forum). And in the Chatter Forum yesterday, some specific messages were being ID'd, and even following the links and viewing the thread map, did not reveal the marker. I even went as far as viewing the source html, to see if there was a reference to something in there that might lead to my enlightenment - alas no joy. I guess someone is going to have to spell it out for me.
