OK I was being dumb. It's early here yet.
Here's a note on the "S" tag, in case anybody's interested:
The S element, deprecated in HTML 4.0, suggests that text be rendered with a strike-through style. In many cases, use of a phrase element such as DEL is more appropriate since such elements express the meaning of the text more clearly. However, since support for DEL among browsers is weak, S could be useful in combination with DEL, as in the following example:
The latest version of HTML recommended by the W3C is HTML <DEL DATETIME="1997-12-19T00:00:00-05:00"><S>3.2</S></DEL> <INS DATETIME="1997-12-19T00:00:00-05:00">4.0</INS>.
Note that STRIKE is better supported than S (based on Netscape 2.x and 1.22 supporting STRIKE but not S), and so STRIKE should be used in place of S. There does not appear to be any advantage to using both STRIKE and S; all browsers that support S also seem to support STRIKE.

Quote issue -- I just got this:
Hey, man, where are my pants? I have my hippo dignity!'
Oz, ''
Should we be doing something different with this kind of thing?
You mean the extra quote? Or the two blanks for the ep name? Because I deleted the quote mark, but I can't see why there'd be no ep name.
Oh, nix that. It had an episode number, a season number, but no show name. Finis!
OK, this is weird. I read the two posts above and thought to myself, "Self? When am I going to see that quote?" But then I looked up and there it was in its special little corner of the board.
That is indeed weird.
You don't call yourself Jon?

It's the new "It's all about the coat"!
Strangely, I call Jon "Self" as well.
And then there's
Money
by Martin Amis, in which the main character is called "John Self". And one of the other characters is called Martin Amis.
Hmm - has "allow pictures" definitely been added to the todo list (even if low priority)? Because if we allow images in posts, I think there will significant bandwidth and performance issues; this applies even to Stors and images that appear in every post by a user.
Images in the user profile, available only through the profile, would be harmless, I think.
I don't think the code will be especially tough. But when pictures move to a priority, I think someone should do a real cost/benefit calculation before defininitely deciding to allow WX style images - what I think of as visual tag lines.
