You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

What kind of human being would go phishing for children's choruses? Still something about that email makes me suspicious. If you do reply, Dana- please let us know what happens.

Maybe create a quickie GMail account and use it to reply with?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I only worry about it because I'm sort of the first line of defense before I pass these things onto my mother. But honestly, it does seem pretty unlikely, I guess.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

God, Kubuntu is driving me crazy with these random little breakdowns. I can fix them, eventually, after teaching myself command line, but this whole switching to Linux business isn't as smooth a transition as I had hoped.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Does anyone recall any lawsuits involving an ad-blocking service or program? (I.e., your computer renders a web page with all advertising deleted.) It's for work and I can research this question other ways, but I thought someone here might remember hearing about something like that.

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

I don't recall ever seeing any. I did a search on techdirt (http://techdirt.com/) which covers lawsuits involving the net pretty well, but didn't find anything other than a couple of posts about advertisers being upset by the practice.

Thanks DX! That is useful. Someone else reminded me of the Gator litigation, which might have been in the back of my mind, even though it's a different type of program.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am having some stupid trouble in Access 2003. I have a form. It used to open up with the classes sorted in alphabetical order. It is now opening with the classes sorted in creation order. The form properties box has Classes.ClassName in the Order by box. The form has subforms, which used to show the students sorted in Alphabetical Order, but now they to, are appearing in creation order. WTF?

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

Is the form based on an underlying table or query? If so, check to see how the table or query is sorted. My guess is that the sort order there has changed.
