Well, we need a way to control who can post in a thread. That's how we limit Nillytown to Nilly, etc. Any change to that mechanism would involve more than a bit of work.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I forgot about Nillytown. Still, we're loading over a thousand user names into the combo box every time we want to edit a title.

It's something that could be better, but given that it's normally only used once every couple of weeks, I don't think it should be given high priority.

Huh. FYI, my Opera browser has decided to ignore the Times class for the pi symbol. Now I'm just getting the staple. No big deal for me, but I think we're learning that fiddling with symbols in the thread header can be a little tricky.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
Is that why we don't have the é in the Sang Sacré header?
Speaking of which-- shouldn't it be about time for Sang's annual Harvest Festival?

shouldn't it be about time for Sang's annual Harvest Festival?
Um... yeah. Yeah, it should. (Edward asks: is it a leather pants occasion, or more floral skirt? And will there be pumpkins?)

And will there be pumpkins?
Not so much. Too many people forgot what time it was and got stuck inside the pumpkins when they reverted from carriages to squash. It was a mess.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
FYI, running IE 5.5 on Win 95, I get the staple instead of the fancy pi.
You don't have to try to fix it or anything.
