Yeah - my fault for nattering in what is supposed to be a natter resistant zone...

It's not that the guy at work was in favour of them, more that he kept coming up with meaningful data that seemed to him like he'd found the right key, and I was trying to sell the concept of the arbitrary key to him.
I'm one step ahead of him, but roughly seventy-three steps behind you guys, it seems.

I've even run into this with fellow database analysts (who are supposed to bnow the theory). They claim to understand the concept, but see all these cases for exceptions - which makes it seem to me that they don't really understand the theory.

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
SpikeMe got a post eaten and kicked back to the home page -- that's a new one. Wasn't SpikeMe the same one who Read New went to the middle of the thread, too? Wonder what's up with that.
Edit: and no yellow box. It's a browser detective story.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She was on the wrong screen, I think. She did make it here, but it logged her out again. So she e-mailed instead.
It seems like an AOL issue, but one that Allyson, for instance, isn't happening.

She did say it took her 20 minutes to type her post, weren't other people getting errors if the DB timed out their session before they hit post? Could it be a combo of a time-out error and AOL?

I forgot to close a quotation mark on
blog on the Firefly site:
J. Whedon is directing---love that!!!
and I got this: a problem with truncation?
From the third-party blog on the Firefly site:
J. Whedon is directing---love that!!! The energy he brings to set is amazing. Not only that, but watching him direct an ep is better than any film class you could take…why and what he notices is astonishing… my favorite thing is when he finishes watching a take and says, “GREAT!, PERFECT, AMAZING…going again…”

Seems to have been fixed, assuming you meant the firefly thread?
[EDIT: and I fixed what you posted here, because it was busting this thread]
Were you just wondering what the asterisks were for?
Ask Jon B but it's normally hidden, and it's a workaround for a certain browser.

Those weren't bottom-of-the-page asterisks, I knew about those. It was something I wasn't expecting produced by the tag-closing function or by the thing's response to my missing quote.
edit: so I posted not to have it fixed, but to say "Is the tag-closer broken?" I don't think we have a tag-closer yet, though.

No, we don't.
It was something I wasn't expecting produced by [...] the thing's response to my missing quote.
Well, it's not that unexpected. After all, your link to something.com, if the quote is never closed, becomes a link to the something.com address, plus the whole of the rest of the page from that point onward, doesn't it?
You know what's a really good habit to get into? Any time you type quotes, type both of them right away, then use the left-arrow to put the cursor back between them.
Same for HTML brackets.
Someone from our accountancy department showed me that and I've never looked back. Never miss a closing quote again! Though I sometimes accidentally end up with
A HREF="" something.comI never end up with
A HREF="something.com [remainder of page]
