That's pretty much the reasoning behind using usernames this round. I guess user number arguably more authentic, but I feel like I know you buy your user names, and I don't want to have to doublecheck that if user 61 says she's Rebecca Lizard that that is in fact that case. For me, it's easier to prevent fraud if I'm just making sure there aren't six msbelles.
Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

Whose name, by the way, in my head, I pronounce meesabell.

It's a shame, because it's nice to be able to have nifty names, but regexps really are picky about that sort of thing.
Didja see my post upthread that I fixed the problem?

Is anyone besides me seeing italics going unclosed, and no one noticing? (I'm using Mozilla.) I don't know if these are HTML errors that most people's browsers are correcting automatically, or if it's a problem with Mozilla's parsing.
(And since I don't know, I'm not entirely sure where to post this. But I didn't think of that until after I posted, so I suppose I'll leave it here until someone yells.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
RobertH, if you notice which post started it, yell in thread or in Bureaucracy, and a admin can close it.
Me, I use Opera, which means that every font tag is implictly closed after each paragraph. Great for errant italics, lousy for bulk text spoiler-fonted the long way round.

I would, except every time I've come across it so far, I'm catching up on my reading, so it's easier just to finish the page and move on.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
So I should blame hostrocket for my being unable to get into here for the past hour or so?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Yup. ita thinks shrift may have kicked it too hard last night.

I know it's pissy of me to enter with a complaint, but there it is. I lurk all the time, weekdays, at work. And for some bizarro reason, the above quote is what I get six times out of ten when I check out the quotes at the upper right. Does it have something to do with my registration or login? Because I'll gladly change both to get rid of that stupid fucking quote.
