The answer: IT'S HARD TO SEE !!!!
Explanation:
DJ wrote: "Four [at least] people have solved the problem already; maybe the rest of you would be able to if you tried, instead of pretending to be clever." (Pretending to be clever? Look who's talking !!!!)
Well, that gives the answer away. Any answer so far that was given by at least four people, is the correct one....
It can't be Axorion's answer:
Scholar? Now I see why "scholars" don't need votes to post a puzzle.

Not Penny's answer:
I think I have the solution: DJ posted this as an eloquent protest against the shameful Martha Stewart guilty verdict.

Wow, this is a tough one !!! When I posted this reply, this was a puzzle with XX as the subject, and everything else blank. Is this like a Zen Buddhist koan ?

But at least four people said "it's hard to see":
Larry:
I'm on to something, it's hard to see, but it has to do with WMD. By the way, it is possible that the same thing happened to the text defining this problem that happened to the WMD. Yes, the text MAY have been deleted, but it could have been hidden inside another file, or transferred from this website to another website. Or hidden somewhere on the hard drive. I once lost a file for several months and eventually found it inside a stock portfolio folder dealing with the S&P 500 stock SPDR (ie it was inside a spider hole). By the way, WMD are still around somewhere, we just haven't found them yet.
Captain Paradox
I'm lost too. I'm on to something, it's hard to see, but it has to do with dinosaur pee . . .
TomM:
I'm probably lost, but... I'm onto something; it's hard to see, but it has to do with Tennessee...
Sam:
I'm onto something; it's hard to see, but it has to do with SkeletonKey...
Juggler:
Another better solution. I'm onto something; it's hard to see, but it has to do with a Juggling Gypsy. Nice One
SilverKnight:
I'm onto something; it's hard to see, but it has to do with Singapore...
Tristan
I'm hungry. I'm onto something; it's hard to see, but it has to do with turkey...
