AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the frustration of users not posting answers to brain teasers in hidden text, which is seen as a way to avoid spoiling the solutions for others. A reference to a Super Bowl commercial involving a live mouse is made, though its relevance to the topic of hidden text is unclear to some participants. Additionally, there is a technical conversation about updating the hidden text color, as the current designation of "black" is inaccurate; the actual color is identified as "e9e9e9," while quoted text is noted as "d8dfe4." Participants agree on the need for clarity in using these colors for better communication.

So, can we update the hidden text color? Right now it claims the hidden text color is "black", which isn't quite right. It's actually "e9e9e9". And quoted text is "d8dfe4".

Ah, ok. I'll use this color from now on.[/color]
 

Thread 'Status Update by JRMichler'

Just ONCE, I wanted to see a post titled Status Update that was not a blatant, annoying spam post by a new member. So here it is. Today was a good day here in Northern Wisconsin. Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
