Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I knew DX would know the reference.

I still have my Billy and the Boingers Bootleg record that came with the book.

I think mine might be at my parent's house. I should look for that.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

and I'm interested in what that process is.

For thread naming, the process has tended to be: the wittiest thing wins by popular acclaim.

Now it's a bit more: the wittiest thing proposed that a stompy likes wins.

In brief, it's sort of like the court of King Charles II (aka, Restoration Chuck).

Up with the sun

There are a number of obviously misspelled user names on the list, as well as examples of multiple variations of the same name being registered again and again.

It sounds like some people register variations on their name so that no one else can login with anything too close (e.g., if I registered lyrajane and Lira Jayne). Is that what you're describing? Or is it more like people who are indecisive and register Lira Jayne, then decide that spelling would be annoying and register something else? Or a little of both?

Sorry for the 20 questions ... this stuff just faascinates me.

I changed the code to display thread headers on every page.

Verra nice!
