**"Hey Guys!!! I found a work around on the search function!!"** Work around on the search function? Here ya go: 1. First, do your search. 2. Then after that, _… a moderator steps in and deletes the content of your post. Smart move, Farmer! You [might wanna look](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=76025&pagenumber=2) at the last guy who hinted at this workaround._ [Edited by Coldfire on 09-09-2001 at 05:54 PM] ---

**Farmer** , I guess it’s only fair to tell you: we’re currently evaluating your posting privileges for that little stunt up there. _Especially_ since this is exactly what got a rather high-profile poster banned two months ago. And, of course, because everyone with half a brain would realise that posting a workaround to something the Administration is actively discouraging (by means of altering the search engine capabilities), is a baaaaad idea. We don’t have a lot of openings for people with _less_ than half a brain, I’m afraid. We’ll be in touch. ---
