Oh, no! My sysop powers are no match for his special characters!
There exists a graphic at
http://www.wikipedia.com/upload/The%20newbie%20helper%5C%27%24.jpg ("The
newbie helper\'$.jpg") in plain text -- note the backslash and the
apostrophe) that should be returned to the void whence it came.
Clicking the delete link returns the message "File The newbie
helper\\\'$.jpg deleted!" -- but the file is still there.
Would someone with powers greater than mine please nuke this
abomination? And then perhaps look into handling strange characters
more gracefully?
Thanks!
