Do you ever sense that someone is looking over your shoulder when you are on the answer screen on Y-Ans?

I know that something is going on, because I've had it happen to me.

I know I may sound paranoid, but just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean that someone's not out to get you.

(I sound like Mel Gibson's character in "Conspiracy Theory". And no, I don't own a single copy of Catcher in the Rye"; I've

never even read it. Focus, focus!

But I had had a couple of violation e-mails...hence my screen name...so someone must have been watching me.

One afternoon, I was explaining to potential answerers of a question that it was either a plant for Homeland Security or the

DEA...when suddenly, the page just vanished.

And just this afternoon, I was about ready to finish an answer of about the same type, when they used the venerable "page

has timed out" ploy...perhaps a subtler key to play; either way, you can't get your answer back.

So I am composing this off-line, and we'll see if "this question has been deleted" shows up.

    Perhaps it's a coincidence. If you have difficulty with answers it'll last all day.
