Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Can I just say? I was in natter just now, and posted something, and then scrolled up to the top and was about to click the Previous button to see what had come down in between my stopping reading and when I hit post.

And then I realized I don't have to. Wasn't that clever of everyone who planned that little feature?

Yay team!

Are you ready to be strong?

Does anyone know if there's a way to search for a phrase with the buffastas.org search engine? I tried putting it in quotation marks but it still searched for each word, rather than the phrase as a whole.

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

There doesn't seem to be, Rio. I've tried it (edit: searching for a phrase using quotes), too, and it didn't work for me.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

In the first instance, I'm beginning to think that all BtVS fans except us are nuts.

Well, with an attitude like that, what problem could we possibly have?

And the discussion really belongs in Bureaucracy, since it's not technical.

Apologies. Will move it.

Julie, works just fine.

Ita, erm.. was that a funny?

For me it's enclosed and appears as t strike

I was looking for the s and /s functions which usually put a line through the text.

I'm using IE5

oops. I see now, I have to type the whole word strike. sucky c'est moi.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Both t strike and t s are deprecated, but t s works in fewer browsers, so it wasn't included in our list of allowable tags.

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 can't figure out how to use style sheets to change the look of this place. Was that implemented? But I can't figure out how to do it at all. When I tell IE to "use my style sheet," what should it look like? BODY tags, STYLE tags, or is this enough?

{font: 20px verdana, arial, geneva, sans-serif;}

This doesn't do anything (I told IE to ignore fonts specified by web pages already.)
