This has been a glorious week in the sacred history* of this column: we caught a rival's reporter trying to use The Register's own comments sections to find a story. Enter stage right Jack Gilbert, a reporter with a website which we're not going to tell you the name of (why? Screw giving them free advertising, that's why) – …

"Email to the usual address, please....." I warn you, it's not pretty, not unless you're into middle-aged sado-masochism. Psychology students might find it interesting. Let's just say her tag line is probably true, but you won't want to see any other astrophysicists naked after.

Matt, thank you for small mercies. Sometimes a little info is too much info. Bit like the esteemed Alistair this week I can do without some items of esoteric knowledge. He was unusually waffly this week. Perhaps his wifes' research was more unsettling than usual ? A full beer and upvote for Evil Graham. Spluttered coffee over lunch.
On a serious note (really) I wonder how many reader tech surveys are disguised hunts for targeted advertising.

I've been perusing Encyopaedia Dramatica most of this week. MIddle aged sadomasochism would be a breath of fresh air compared to that.
Then again, the ED cruising might explain why I've been so agressive in the comments of late...

Pre-moderation
Do "Anonymous Cowards" also get pre-moderated no matter how often they contribute comments? It's not the pre-moderation per se that bothers me - just that it can delay a posting appearing for several hours. By that time you can appear to be doing a "me too" when a whole bunch of similar comments appear before it.

Re: Pre-moderation
I posted a reply but double-checked answer when I realised that all of your comments have been pre-modded.
We auto-mod posters who have had five non-anonymous comments accepted. Thereafter, posters can make as many anon comments and avoid pre-modding.
However, I think this is an oversight on our part - it certainly wasn't the intended policy. We will change this - but there is a long to do list.
In the meantime, perhaps you could make four more comments using your handle - and then revert to anonymity.

pearler?
A pearler is an unexpected accident involving usually serious damage to the person who has had one.
"I had right pearler this morning, I ran for the bus ( routemaster), it was going, I missed it and ripped the knee out of my suit trousers", (My dad).
"He came a proper pearler when his sleeve got caught in the lathe and the emergency stop wasn`t quick enough, not good, hospital job".
Something mild? No.
