No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

Maybe it should be a (very) FAQ.

edit: post under discussion is a list of the original intended order for showing Firefly eps. There may be some argument over Tim's claiming responsibility, but I tend to believe there's a true order that he was forced to rearrange.

I don't want to be Superman. I want to stay little and be next to Mommy.

Is there a list of buffistas.org mailing lists somewhere?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I can't remember if it was ever cleared up, but did we ever come up with a list of favorite Buffista charities? I was thinking it would be a nice thing for the Buffista links page, as in, "Buffistas have contributed to these charities (the sprog gift stuff, heifer.org, firstbook.org)."

But then it went nowhere and I wasnt sure if anyone cared but me, and ew, that creepy guy who works up the hill keeps smiling at me.

Thanks for all the fish.

I think it's a good idea, Allyson, but can contribute nothing but agreement.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Java, the size and font are hardwired into the code.

Not so! The font is, but for posts, the size is not. The browser default size is used. DX is correct that Verdana is bigger than most other fonts, so posts will looks bigger than the text on most other web pages. We've gone around and around on this topic in BBaBB and the current set-up seems to be the best compromise until we build-in user-defined stylesheets.

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

Can we just remove the font faces from the style sheet, so that the browser's defaults are used? That's the way WX did it. Let's everybody pick their own. If there's a compelling technical reason for specifying faces, I'll live with it, but if there isn't, why do we need them?

Just to note that I know I sound like a broken record here, but I really hate Verdana.

And I really like it, so ptthhht!

Seriously, the usability folks swear by it. It was designed specifically as an easy-on-the-eyes screen font.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yay Ple!
