Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

So I love my mobile internet access, but it does have that pesky data limit. I haven't watched my data throughput since the Compuserve days. And so we're right up on our limit this month so I decided to do a little text only browsing for a few days.

Guess which website of all the ones I use degrades the most gracefully? Go on, guess. Yeah, that's right, the b.org.

So it's time for my semi-regular gratitude rant. Thanks, ita, jon, et al, for making this such a smoothly functional place. Thanks for making it somewhere I can effortlessly connect with this awesome community without having to worry about the tech behind it. You rock, and my life is the richer because of your work.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Never mind, Plei got it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Perkins, if that's what I think that was (rogue spoiler) you should post in in B'cacy, since it's not a technical issue, and more of the admins are more likely to be seeing it there.

Okay! I have a total mental block about that, so I started there and then put it here, just in case.

I...probably won't remember next time either, but I will try.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just tried to thread suck the whole last Natter, and it didn't work -- could it be a problem with the 30K posts?

Edit: I was able to get it in 10K chunks, FTR.

Can you put the details in the bugtracker so they don't get lost in the mess of the thread?

Done.

Thanks. That way it's logged somewhere easy to find, and it fires off an email to whoever's assigned the component that the bug is entered for (I switched your entry from Admin Tools to Main Board, btw).

Sorry -- I have a bad habit of not looking at the rest of the fields when I'm filling out forms...

Can you edit the bugtracker entry and put in exactly what happened when you tried? I'm getting different results when I try more than once on the test site.
