Apple is attempting to have a full panoply of devices; which will be collectively known as an iPanoplytm.
There! Does it really matter if it is true? ..and isn't it?

Codeproject contains a panoply of code.

You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

Well, your post generated a panoply of responses.

Think of a sentence where the use of the word panoply doesn't come off as pretentious and contrived.

is it?
it ain’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features yet.

I know (third hand) of someone who went to work for the British Antarctic Survey as a carpenter. When the wood that had been sent out with the boat ran out he literally had nothing he could do until the spring...
..much whisky was consumed.

He wasn't working at Faraday Base was he? (http://munchies.vice.com/articles/how-to-drink-vodka-at-the-last-bar-on-earth[^]).
A slight mis-use of timber supplies led to the world's most southerly public bar, and one of my few claims to fame is that I've sampled the "vodka" there. It's potent stuff... 
I'd think about applying for one of those jobs if was American. Wonder how fast I can change nationality?

I have done all this and once applied for a similar position on the British Antarctic Expedition as a sysadmin but then this job in the Bahamas came up..., more money, less penguins.

I have just got another message placed in the moderation queue. Could we agree on a secret keyword that, when placed in a post, would automatically bypass the spam filter ? It would be known only from the Loungers.
I propose 'gin'.

I propose the phrase
"This Is Spam"

The link in your signature is getting caught. Let the filters learn and it'll be all good shortly. I approved the messages.

Should I remove the link ? Never occurred to me that it could be spam...
Thanks, BTW.

No. After Reporting/Approving contents,spam filters work accordingly (Based on potential keywords). So there won't be any problem after a period of time.

Long standing members should not be filtered at all. How big is the chance any of us would suddenly start posting spam?
Sorry, that is just nonsense.
