    On a more serious note, reading through the replies, I find there are rather few real answers. At first I thought this might be because people here value their privacy. But after pondering this for a while, I think it has perhaps more to do with that coming to this site is usually to think NOT about work for a few secs/min/hours. And we do not see our day to day profession as very relevant here (though I value to in-depth responses of the astrophysicists or other experts when we discuss certain topics).

    But for the record, I'm a plant physiologist.

    Edit: why does soylent forbid IANAL as subject?

    Why is IANAL not allowed here? Because it's boring. Most of us are in intellectual pursuits, have lots of books, and cannot honestly say, "I am not a Librarian."

    I believe it's because the subject was all in caps. There were efforts underway to strip the lameness filter out of slashcode but it seems at least some of it is still lurking in the background, silently rejecting your post without providing a reason.

      thanks, Informative!

      Perhaps it is not bad to have some sort of lameness control, but at least a reason should be provided for rejecting posts (noticed this a few times now).
