Lee was: the Incarnation  ! 
Answered on: 9 Apr 2004

The Internet Oracle has pondered your question deeply.
Your question was:

> Oh Oracle Most Wise,

> Is it just me, or are there an awful lot of blank questions lately?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} The Oracle receives yet another e-mail query and begins to read it.
} "'Blank questions'?   Zadoc!!!"
} 
} Almost immediately, Zadoc appears, genuflecting.  "Yes, most sagacious
} master?"
} 
} "What's this about incarnations getting blank questions?"
} 
} "Ah, well, um.  One of the other priests may have mentioned
} something about that.  I believe it had something to do with germ
} warfare between annelids."
} 
} "Germ warfare betw . . . ?  Never mind, just get me one of the priests
} who's actually allowed to touch the computers!"
} 
} "Right away, your pansophicalness."
} 
} Zadoc quickly departs while somehow simultaneously continuing to
} genuflect.  "I never should have let him borrow my thesaurus," mutters
} the Oracle.
} 
} Zadoc reappears with another priest in tow.  The priest reverently
} addresses the Oracle.  "How may this lowly one serve you, o great
} Oracle?"
} 
} The Oracle repeats his earlier question:  "What's this about
} incarnations getting blank questions?"
} 
} "Oh.  Um, well . . . with the recent spate of e-mail worms and
} viruses, we've, ah, encountered a few problems, most gracious and
} forgiving one."
} 
} "Continue," the Oracle says with a mixture of dread and warning.
} 
} "Well, the queue started filling up with worm-generated e-mails, so we
} had to set up filters to purge them.  Only . . . we ran into a few
} glitches.  We, ah, kind of accidentally disposed of the bodies of
} some legitimate question in the process.  It was a very small
} percentage, I assure you.  It's all fixed and working fine now, most
} magnanimous one," the priest concludes meekly.
} 
} "I see," speaks the Oracle while glaring at the priest.  There is a
} long pause.  Zadoc begins to cower and look for potential cover, which
} is in short supply in the Oracle's chamber.
} 
} "Very well," the Oracle says suddenly in a more relaxed manner.  "Just
} see that it doesn't happen again.  You may go."
} 
} The priest humbly, yet hastily departs.
} 
} "Now let's see, where was I?  Oh, yes, this question about blank
} questions."  The Oracle begins to type:  "It's just you, supplicant."
} He then hits send.
} 
} "Appearance is everything, Zadoc.  We mustn't let the supplicants
} doubt my infallibility."
} 
} "Indubitably, most apodictic master."
} 
} "Zadoc?"
} 
} "Yes, your polymath?"
} 
} "Leave the forty-dollar words to me," says the Oracle as one hand
} absently caresses the Staff of Zot.
} 
} "Yes, perspicacious, er, smart one."
}
} You owe the Oracle a lock for his thesaurus.
}

Notes: In retrospect, I should have done more research on Zadoc before attempting to make use of him. I hope this (slighly revised) version doesn't do him too badly.
