Well, no one else said anything so why not me...

The delicate "ampersand" is part of the code at many forums, a fun and mischievous, yet potentially disruptive little git. So she is blocked from messaging. You'll see this phenomenon at quite a few 'net hangouts, even ones where little "ampersand's" nuances are especially useful. Say, coding or scripting forums. Strange tidings may follow where' e'er "ampersand" is unwanted even when unseen. She can unhinge things.

Type DnD instead of D&D, looks like the most simpel solution...
