I replied to a post by **oh&s** in this [Bezoar Stones](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=289260) thread.

When I checked the main Comments on Cecil’s Columns page earlier I saw that **oh&s** had the Last Post so I assumed that he responded to me.

Wrong. My post, yesterday 12/16 at 1:27 pm, is way later than his 8:09 am post.

So why is my name still not showing in Last Post, even though I’ve done everything up through a reboot to refresh the page? Did **oh&s** commit so many screwy posts that he screwed up the hamsters?

I got no clue, **Exapno** , I’ll try to get someone to look into it.

Hey! Cool. Maybe you’re dead, like Patrick Swayze in _Ghost_.

Try hitting something solid, like a brick wall. 😃

Hmm. I tried it with your head but it made a hollow sound. 😃

Oh boy, more system strangeness.

It will update at some point; it should have already updated by now; I dunno why it’s doing this.

Just checked, you’re updated. Sorry it took so long.

Thanks for flogging those hamsters.

(I’m so glad I live in an age when every conceivable phrase sounds dirty if you look at it in the right way. 😃 )
