242. You obviously were somehow able to post to my long-ago hidden thread and I am just curious...

...as to how you did that. It's simple. I don't see what's so hard about that.

I also wonder what you said and why you deleted it, seemingly because you realized you had just responded to a locked post, which happened to be mine. And since you always seem to be right where I am, with your condescending snark, I naturally wonder what you said and why you deleted it. But I guess you don't possess a logical explanation nor the fortitude to do so. You want to goad me at every opportunity and so you're always delivering snark and then want to be petulant when I ask you a simple question.

Does anyone know how this poster was able to respond to my post that was locked in January? I am genuinely curious as to how some random DUer is able to do that.

Anyway pinto, until my curiosity about this matter is satiated, I will bring it up every time I see you condescendingly snarking me until I get a satisfactory answer. So, expect it.
