@Anders I think there was some sort of mix up when we both tried to edit the same question. Since it looks like our cross edits resulted in a bug I posted a meta question about it. meta.security.stackexchange.com/q/2573/91891
No worries. I was totally baffled. Like I said in the meta question I don't care who gets credit I just wanted to solve the mystery.
That was why I pinged you here. I figured you were the best person to help resolve the mystery, so I thought I'd give you a heads up about my meta question.
I posted an answer to your meta quesiton. Mystery solved. :-)
@Erik Also - great edit! Sometimes questions that are sort of painful to read gets close voted, when in fact the better option is to make a substantial edit. Always makes me happy when someones botter to do that work.
