New That's "statictate".
And it wasn't really a statictation; it wasn't long enough.

We clearly have different views on how and why censorship should or should not work. So be it.

New Yup, saw that. I spelled "cansorship" further up-thread, too
Hey, I can only plead (early) senility. Or maybe I was drunk -- Yeah, that's it! I was too drunk to spell correctly! That's my story, and I'm sticking to it... Almost with the vehemence of a Post-It[TM] note.

New Hmm. I wonder if a little history is called for...
Back a few years ago when I began having LAN parties/Net days with friends, we naturally came up with some aliases for things like Quake. That's where "static" for my alias came from, BTW. An interesting typo in an email with our aliases led to inventing terms based on our alises for typical things we would do. We came up with quite a few between us, but most never got used. One that did stick around was "statictate".

Essentiually it means getting a long, generally correct answer in reply to a simple question that was probably not what the asker expected or desired. Amongst our little group, I tended to do a lot more than everyone else. Here on IWETHEY, other people statictate more than I do. :-)

We never came up with "statictite". :-)
