More moderation?

[Angrboda]

I think the moderation on this forum is missing a certain woman's touch.

What happened to Kay?

Hint: I was referring to a certain woman's touch, but not that certain woman.

On the one hand, they say if you have to explain a joke it isn't funny. On the other hand, it was inevitable that somebody wouldn't get the joke. I wonder if it isn't half funny that pocaracas didn't get the joke....

For the benefit of our non-native English speakers, the joke is an example of amphiboly, being an ambiguity in the meaning of a phrase due to an ambiguity in the grammar. In the phrase, "a certain woman's touch," the word 'certain' can modify either 'woman's touch' or 'woman'. If it is modifying the phrase 'woman's touch', then the expression means that the moderation is missing a certain or specific feminine touch; however, if the word certain only modifies 'woman', then the expression means that the forum is missing the touch of 'a specific woman', in this case, me being the specific woman.

(Now I feel all embarrassed. Forget I said anything. *covers face*)
