"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I'm willing to do what I can. But I don't think that's much, I'm rather out of the stream.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Fuck. The filter code that Paul wrote? Was on my HD that failed. I'll poke around to see if I have it backed up anywhere, but it may take a while.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
We could also email Paul. He could still have a copy.

Let me poke through my backups first.

Let me just say, I have a new appreciation for the design of the board. The work computers run Netscape 4.8 on Win 3.1 (the main production program is DOS-based and it's been a long time coming up with good answers to "The program works great, why do we need to upgrade it?"), so the modern Internet is frequently at odds with the system. But the Buffistas load quickly, the new threads pop right up, and the graphics don't take a year and a day to load.
Thanks.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
After subscribing to the new Natter thread, I got this message:
Your tagline is 267 characters and has been truncated.
Only...it hasn't been truncated. So there's something wacky about the character-counting.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Speaking of wacky counting, are we going to be able to do anything about starting new threads with post #2, instead of #1?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
It's a feature, not a bug! We've decided to start each thread with the new Number 2.
