I discovered a little myLot quirk earlier, one which resulted in me posting a single-line post with just a picture of an Inception film poster, with a hand around a spinning top in it. You may have noticed it. How I shall smile to myself today as I imagine all those Mile Otters trying to report that unreportable post... With thanks to @Ceerios for his coining of the term "Mile Otters", Wuzzit. And to @rebelann, whose post relating to ample bosoms unintentionally brought this particular quirk to my attention :)

Can this Mile Otter report you for linking to one of his most hated songs of the 1980s?

Sure he can, it is, after all, a free country (or world or...). Would you have preferred the Bette Midler version?

@pgntwo I did hear the Bette Midler version in 1986 when the mullet-wearing ex-footballer had his in the charts. Miss M was not an ex-footballer (although she always appeared to be trying to conceal a couple of them) but yes, her version is even worse.

@asfarasiknow It is particularly cringeworthy too. As for the bosom pals Miss M's live version, she's up there with Diana Dors, Dolly Patton and that Hindenburg-like airship that nosedived to the ground a couple of weeks back, yes. Nice to see another UK contributor to myLot, off to have a wander through your musings.

Oh no, I didn't do that again @pgntwo ....... a decade ago I did that at work, it screwed up a few files at work and boy did they read me the riot act.

I am sure. But the admins will be keen to close the loophole too, I imagine.

When I noticed that I was unable to do anything with the post of @rebelann I looked at the title and I was sure it came from the special characters. Ceerios is a great guy to play with words.

Me too... But I had to go prove it, didn't I? Yes, I love @Ceerios' posts, his Mile Otters is very good!

Interesting feature. Or glitch.

Now on the official Bug list here, I am told. As traces of these posts have been removed, I shall amend my Past Posts post too... Soon...

Are you suggesting that Rebelann's ample bosoms are quirky?

Yes. And as she points out elsewhere, she and I are now slash buddies. It gets quirkier...

I can't like that post and I cannot respond to it. Why is that?

Because, we believe, of the "\" character at the end of the post's title.
