Sure. The question is whether it still would have been statistically unlikely if she hadn't quoted it here. ;)

Are you calling me a tainted sample!?!? Them's fighting words!

You said it, not me. ;)

(PS: Where did you find that icon? That's really amazingly wacky. :) )

I have a bunch. Some germans were making stickers (see my avatars list for the complete list). I couldn't buy the stickers, so I made icons instead.

As for the insult to my honour, I expect restitution in the form of a haiku. FORTHWITH.

I guess we will need a judge if you plead 'no contest'.

Meredith?

It's missing the kigo, so I judge that [info]jrtom has written a senryu and not a haiku.

Ah, but that judgement relates to whether I produced a haiku or not, rather than whether I did in fact taint your honor (or, more to the point, accuse your hypothetical usage of being a tainted sample). To the original charge, my plea stands and has not been judged, so my offering of poetry was arguably completely gratuitous and need not itself be judged on any particular grounds. :)

Mhm, wikipedia thinks that the absence of a kigo in a haiku may not be a problem since the Meiji

That's quite an impressive array of warning labels you got there.

Also, your userinfo is kinda... not informing. :D

So, I gotta ask: what, exactly, was the context?

I was putting together an illustration to show how a long-term intersection attack plays out, but didn't have a huge amount of space to work with, so the graphic is rather oversimplified.

For the record, I will be unlikely to get to say this phrase today.

thanks for teaching me about the existence of several concept that I was not aware of, ranging from link padding and intersection attack to kigo and senryu

hai!
