Well it seems very likely that the jury will see it this way too.

Peeps fans are feeling down today. Bob Born, the father of Peeps has died. He was 98 years old. I didn't realize that his company has been around for 100 years.

I lived in the state where Ground's Hog Day was filmed and a friend of mine and I went up there to watch the filming one day and had fun watching the filming. Still one of my favorite movies.

Is anyone but me getting error messages when they try to start a new discussion?

If you look there is a SMALL yellow banner that says something like "your comment was posted" and then the much larger quote / image that leads you to believe this is an error. Sometimes it says something like "Sorry you've lost your way" or some such that leads one to believe it was not posted. But in fact it was.
What you need to do is go back to the group page, refresh and look to see if it is in the folder you intended.
So far, I've found my post just where I intended each and every time.
BUT ...
This "new and NOT improved" messaging is leading many people to post and repost and repost their new threads. S*I*G*H

Doubt any member enjoys running into this as a poster or one trying to keep up with posts. The more active the group, the more superfluous posts.
Verschlimmbessern is term I'm glad I learned a few years ago.
ooh, good word! Tongue-twister, though

That actually sounds kind of fun though it really weirds out some people when people they don't know talk to them.

Personally, I feel he should be off the hook. He did not load the gun. Hopefully, movie companies will really look into this incident and be extremely concerned with the safety of their crew after this incident.
Agree with you. The actors on a set are not in charge of the props. The person responsible for checking to make sure it wasn't a loaded gun should be on the hook for this.
