Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

IE always counts a forced return as two characters whereas Mozilla (which I normally use) counts it as one. I'm sorry that I didn't notice this before.

So, now, with your tweaks, the script works in Mozilla, but overcounts in IE.

Is that IE on Windows? Because I tested it on Mac in IE5 and didn't get that result.

Does this belong here or in Bureaucracy? Anyway, the blurb for the Unamerican thread just impinged on my conciousness:

Discussion of episodes currently airing in Un-American locations.

This isn't really accurate. It's more "Spoiler-free discussion for those currently living in Un-American locations (North Americans also welcome)" or something like that. We hardly ever seem to get around to actually discussing episodes.

Any better blurb suggestions? Can we make the change? Thanks!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Is that IE on Windows?

Yes. I don't have access to a Mac.

It's more "Spoiler-free discussion for those currently living in Un-American locations (North Americans also welcome)" or something like that.

That makes sense. I can do that.

Thanks, Jon!

You're up pretty late.... (Early here. And for once, it isn't raining).

Natter. Sorry.

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

I don't see any reason not to give the names, and everybody is curious about them, even those who know we aren't on the list. I'm sure dash is up there, but I don't know who else. Probably ficcers, that ups your average a lot.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Probably ficcers, that ups your average a lot.

Good point. And I'm guessing billytea makes an appearance somewhere on that list, what with the natural history lectures and all. (See, it's not just social, it's educational!)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Would something like this be useful for us for storing the archives offsite?

You mean another online data storage company like those other oh-so-reliable ones we've used in the past?

Seriously, there seem to be a few Buffistas willing to donate their own server space to hold our archives. I don't think we need to look elsewhere.
