And there was . who was banned when, rather than change her name to something more substantial than a dot, chose to crosspost insults and lies directed at Ed Zotti. And someone who took the WallyM7’s screenname(with an invisible space somewhere) the same day that Wally died was banned for obvious reasons. Oh, and I use search often. I can often remember one of the people that posted to a thread, so that helps to narrow down a search. Then again, I am one of those “Pitties” or whatever, and have been known to use search for Pit material. ---

I don’t know any names, they are sort of invisible to me. I search by keywords and phrases. But then I’m usually after info I remember reading and want to check again, rather than digging up dirt. ---

Pity my poor pathetic post count.) ---

I tried pasting it to Word, which worked. It was only when I tried to paste it into my reply that it didn’t go. Did you try to paste using the \V keystroke, or by using “paste” from the Edit menu? I forgot to ask, what browser are you using? Internet Explorer? Which version number? At work I have Windows NT, Internet Explorere version 5.00 and I can do a copy and paste either from the Edit menu or using \V. ---

I have Windows 98. I tried pasting from Edit. Explorer, dunno the version though it should be the latest since I just bought my computer 2 weeks ago. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/three-things-about-the-board-lately/30579.md?page=1)
