In [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=82518) thread, I responded to the OP that a \*.psd file is a Photoshop file. I offered him some help in changing it over to a bitmap file. No big deal. My issue is, my post was immediately following the OP. So where is it? Can I offer evidence that I did? Yep! I was sober, previewed it, and submitted it. Furthermore, he e-mailed me for help! So, what happened? Did the system burp again? Tripler Or did I do somethin’ wrong? ---

No, the OP was posted in two different forums. You probably responded to the other one, which was in MPSIMS or IMHO, and was closed after a couple replies. ---

As a matter of fact, I know I did, because it was one of those special times that I _actually visited_ the **GQ**. This is getting wierder by the moment. Mods? Tripler Not to cause a ruckus, but WTF? ---

**PLEASE IGNORE MY STUPIDITY!**. . . **water** , you were right. It was in the **MPSIMS**. I now hang my head in shame. Mods, please penalize me -1000 posts, and a double-minor in the box for “moron posting”. Thanks. Tripler :whistle:, Double minor, being an idiot! ---

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition. Our chief weapon is surprise. Surprise and fear. Fear and surprise. Our two chief weapons are fear and surprise… and ruthless efficiency. Our three chief weapons are fear, surprise and ruthless efficiency… and a fanatical devotion to the Pope. Our four chief weapons… Amongst our chief weaponry are such diverse elements as fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, and a fanatical devotion to the Pope… And **Tripler** , you should know better than to doubt me. I am all-knowing. And oh so modest. 😉 ---
