"Build yourselves a wall of ships!" said the Oracle!

"But ... but ... cellphones don't work around UFO's! How do I know? Because someone else said so!"

Cellphones work fine, Navy. The aliens only block the camera capability.

And how do they do that?

Hmmmm?

Indy, how do you know that cellphones work fine, the aliens only block the camera capability?

And how do the aliens do that?

I just explained it, Navy. My post was obviously redacted for some reason.

Redacted by you. I wondered why. Apparently you did it accidentally. Or is that just what the aliens want us to think?!

"Redacted." Fantastic.

Sadly, that's about as close as we'll ever get to honesty from Indy. It's a lie that's so obviously a lie that it can hardly even be called a lie. It's kinda like an honest lie. Even sadder is that the other 66.6% of the Believers will give that a pass while they fling accusations of ignoring and/or avoiding at the Skeptics.

So ... neither PTTP nor Indy can give a straight answer when talking about cellphones and UFO's. Anyone else? Ponderer? You got anything for us?

Is that what your log said Curt? That I redacted it?

Interesting.

No. There is no "log" like you evidently imagine. Your blank post in question says "Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/05/2015 01:54PM by Indy!." If a moderator or I had edited it, or redacted it, our name would appear where it says "by Indy!".

Seems to me if someone from the outside had redacted it - they would have a much easier time spoofing my identity as opposed to hacking your entire website.

Just a thought...

Maybe. I have seen people spoof names by replacing the letter O with the numeral 0 for example. Some international keypad characters look like our alphabet letters.

So Indy's saying that he wrote a reply to Navy, posted the reply, and that someone else then edited his reply less than 2 minutes later???

That sounds dubious to me.

Curt said it's a definite maybe. He's the head honcho on the board.

Everything that's possible is a maybe. You redacted your own post and then lied about it. Since it's you, though, it's really no big deal. It's expected.

Dick - since Navy has retreated back to his spider hole again - I will ask you instead... where exactly did I "lie"?

Ponderer & PTTP,

I'd love for you to weigh in on this. What do you two think happened to Indy's missing post?
