Ah, that is back to the nature of creativity. What happened was that
I thought about a lot of words last night, and much of last week
actually, but nothing caught fire. Then, on the tram, on the way
from COMDEX, reading a flashy brochure about a secure web solution
which, as far as I can tell from the brochure, _isn't_ ... my brain
just went *ping*
And, I got 'discover would be a nice word for it' immediately followed
by 'that is not an intermittant NFS problem, that is a problem with
cpickle!' (another problem I have been thinking about. it was.)
Perhaps I was thinking 'I just discovered a major security hole in
their implementation which will leave these people in a nice pickle' but
I don't think so.
The good news is that if my having insights depends on having
insecure web solutions in Sweden, it looks like I am set for a while.

Well, to tie this to the 'why colons thread' --Jacob Hallén, (jacob at strakt.com)
suggested:
try:
do something
surprise! (<-- note no colon)
do something else
(this sort of defeats the purpose I was after ... )
