Re^2: Backdoor to approving one's own node (well?)

I suspect Lady_Aleena was looking at her meditation Writing regexes, think ahead just a bit. at the bottom of the Meditations page when the behaviour was noticed. The Meditations page does not show unapproved nodes from other sections so approving the OP does not make any difference to Lady_Aleena's ability to TITS. As the meditation has now been approved (by someone else) Lady_Aleena can't perform the test with collusion from one of the Janitors or Gods (who would need to unapprove the node for her).

True laziness is hard work

Oh, I didn't realize that the PMD section page didn't work pretty much the same as the Meds section page. Oh wait... it does. And given that the question was actually stated quite generically, I also find it unreasonable to not expect this realization of the question's author. But it seems I should provide a much more explicit explanation. Yes, I had indeed already (silently) conceded that one might not come to the conclusion to "try it and see" quickly enough to actually accomplish the self-test for the first case noticed. I was disappointed that one would be so desperately curious about the answer as to start a new thread on the subject and then resolutely refuse to just get the answer since posting would immediately present the opportunity again. I was also disappointed that somebody else cut that second chance short (especially since the whole purpose of this new thread was to find an answer to the question so keeping the thread "in limbo" seems well worth the opportunity). Since it was indeed missed, I have already arranged for a third chance. Then there is also the possibility of searching... which I leave as an exercise to others, as I'm told exercise is beneficial. I suspect an enlightening search can be found but won't even venture a guess as to how difficult that might be. But in conclusion, I find your statement containing "Lady_Aleena can't perform the test" to be simply incorrect. - tye	[reply]
