Are my posts not showing up? :confused:

Post 16100 for Jean Claude Killy
Post 16114 for Pat Sajak (considering his occupation, that has to be the definitive answer for a one vowel name) :smiley:

notfrommensa. Your posts ARE showing up. BUT you got ninja’d, twice, which means someone else posted at the same time you did, and that post showed up just after yours, which means, in a fast-paced game such as Baker’s Dozen happens to be today, yours were overlooked. Keep trying.

Apparently Annie’s posting and then not checking if she’s been Ninja’d. That’s what happened here. You Ninja’d her both times.

16129

Actually, it’s Annie who got ninja’d by notfrommensa. It’s considerate to check if, after one posts, that s/he check to see if they got ninja’d, and correct their post. It happens…

Gee And I thought I was doing the Ninja-ing.
