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 love you all talking code about this and I want to kiss each and every one of you. And when it gets done, I make you all cookies. I swear.

Will they be persistent cookies? I already have a buffistas.org cookie and it looks like this:

Mmm mmm good.

In the blinvisible message, I'd prefer there not be a link, what with the eye-catching and all. At that point, I've already taken the action. Perhaps a link to the putative relevant faq portion elsewhere?

I was worried about people using it and forgetting how they did it, or new people not realizing it hides all the posts from that user. When you first click "Hide" and it reloads the page, it could put a big help link up top. Or we could have a text-colored link

This post rendered blinvisible by MARCIE (What's this?)

and trust people to mouseover it for a link.

The common practice here is to use a simple text editor like Notepad to compose long posts.

Rrr, arr! Get in the habit of hitting Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C and it will help you wherever you submit text on the net. (If your e-mail, feedback, or post gets eaten, you have a copy right on the Windows clipboard.)

I compose in the box, but I copy and paste quotes to "buffistas.txt" in Notepad. Another keyboard shortcut: you can assign a hotkey to a shortcut so "Ctrl-Alt-N" opens Notepad, or "Ctrl-Alt-B" opens your Buffista clip file.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Might be a stupid question...

Who sees the message? The person who has been MARCIED or the, um, MARCIER? Will the MARCIED know that they have in fact been MARCIED by someone?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Will the MARCIED know that they have in fact been MARCIED by someone?

No.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Only the MARCIER sees the message. The MARCIEE will not know at all unless someone taunts them about it or something. Which would be rude.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Which would be rude.

Very very rude.

Sorry I got Jon B. filtered out, what did he say?

Something about feeling blinvisible or some such. I think he may have some issues to work out.

So, did we ever get an answer on how the database became corrupted during their maintenance?

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to ita for all her work during the days and nights the Buffistas were lost in the wilderness. I'd say we all owe you our firstborns, but what would you do with all those kids? So a million thank yous! (And a few drinks on me, when we meet F2F.)

Also, on top of that, being at PF and WX makes me realize once again how great this place is!!! I felt like weeping with relief when I realized we were back.
