The above is the aforementioned kitteh you were forewarned about.
RARH: You've vertently or inadvertently wandered onto the Undead ThreadTM. I don't know exactly what it is, and I'm not entirely sure that it's perpetuators know exactly what it is either, but each day, the first post is a LOL-cat image, as best I can discern.
The fact that you've posted more than even one repartee here means that you're probably already over the Event Horizon and there is no ecscape (4Sheare), sans some form of Deus Ex Machina event. Even then, once the unions get involved, it's a sticky, time-consuming process to disentangle oneself.
Ive never used hyphens or underscores when I type a name on FR.
The default is set, no matter what.
I already used that shortcut to skip capitalization. Now you tell me that the same technique can be used to bypass hyphens and other meddlesome detritus. Given your tenure, I find myself gratefully. . . troubled, somehow.
Speaking of troubled, I was reading a John Derbyshire book called "We Are Doomed" recently (I bought it in response to his getting cut loose from NR) and ran across the word "abstruse".
Why do I get the feeling that there's an alternative definition for that word, dealing with some kind of profound mystery or epiphany related to the loss of one's erstwhile washboard midriff?
