I have to give my middle finger the middle finger

I was entering a question just now, and I accidentally hit the "Enter" key with my middle finger before I could put in anything as the answer (except, apparently, an apostrophe). I'll try to keep a close eye on the board today, and as soon as I see my question, I'll edit it right away.

Sorry!

Everyone's favorite perpetual screw-up (at the risk of being immodest),

Let me know what you actually entered. I'm curious, because I don't think apostrophes are accepted. And blanks are not.

Paul,

Don't know exactly. Just that when I accidentally hit the enter key, the message came up "Thank you for your question." I'll fix it once I'm able.

Right- I know you don't know now, but you will when you can edit. Although you need, at minimum a "?" at the end or it won't go.

The problem is that I entered the full question, but hit the enter key before I could put anything in for the answer.

The question was something out of "History of the World Part I".

oh duh I totally misread. Still, an apostrophe doesn't exist in the answer box (why all possessive answers must assume it). The system automatically deletes it. Very little punctuation is ok, in fact. - and / is about it.
