Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Jon B, I've written to you about that "check tag length" thing, but the short answer is, it doesn't need to be a form element at all, so something like:

document.write('<br><a href="#" onclick="check_length()"><img src="images/btn_checktag.gif" width="178" height="25" alt="check tagline length" border="0"></a>');

should do just fine.

(John, when you've got an odd number like 1115, just go back to the next-to-last major milestone -- so 1050. )

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Yep, John, I got the email and it works great. I've got several mods in test right now waiting for ita to look them over, so, on her advice, I'm going to take it easy for little while. :)

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

a discreet little field added to the "Read New | Message center | First | Previous | Next | Last | Recent"

I never figured out exactly what "Recent" gives you. On WX and TT it was identical to "Last." I think "Recent" should give you the last fifty posts, preferably all at once.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Recent gives you I think the last twelve.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

I thought it was organized by maximum character number or something.

(I'm way tired. I need to be floated off to bed.)

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

This quote came up in the generator:

(Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought ) Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins. Xander, 'Innocence'

The parentheses supposed to be there?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

thanks...I never thought to change the #. very cool.

Recent was surely designed in imitation of WX's Recent, which gives you the last page.

What exactly constituted a page on WX depended on your preferences, but I'm not sure what exactly Recent does here.

I sometimes get a page, using Recent, which isn't the last page, because there's still one remaining, but

  1. I don't care, and
  2. that may be because a new post turned up in the meantime?

when you've got an odd number like 1115, just go back to the next-to-last major milestone -- so 1050

So you want me to read the last 65 instead? You see, every time you're on a diet, someone tempts you to break it...
