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.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

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

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.)

Are you ready to be strong?
Now the "body" part of the search engine isn't working for me aTALL. For even one word. I tried words that for sure would be in people's posts. Like, I just tried "ita" and got 0 hits.

Rio, ita won't work because it is only three letters, and the search only searches for four or higher, I think.

Aha. Well I do still wish that one day we will be able to search for phrases.

One day, my child, one day.
Jon, I had a wondering thought about scope and classes. If each post was in a div of class "paratext" or something, would a dangling t i or t b be able to leak out? I know that t p is supposed to be a div level tag, but not all browsers treat it that way. I was wondering if they kowtowed appropriately to t div itself.
And, to note that it's much easier using the quickedit t than all those <s I'm used to.
