Dammit, Gus, I just got home from the lab. Don't make me go back!
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

All is well that ends in pizza.

You'll go back! You'll go back and *like it,* you will!
ETA: Okay, that came out not so much mock menacing as, well, Yoda.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I added that just now
I don't see nothin'.
I am imagining something witty, yet clear, at the bottom of the post, using the edited-by class.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Format change done [link] , allowing for variances in the definition of 'witty'.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think that test should be visible only to the poster, though. Otherwise it's kinda embarassing.

Sometimes the message center URL sticks to the address bar (IE6), and it doesn't change when I click links, almost like I'm stuck in a frame. I can get out of it by forcing the browser Home. I think this happened once in Safari too, though. Maybe.

You really think so?
Besides, unless we figure out a way to make it clear to the poster that only the poster can see the warning message, the poster will think everyone can see it and be just as embarassed as if we made the warning message public to begin with.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
There should be an animated GIF of ita wagging her finger at the poster.

Why can't we just tell them?
Honestly, I think it useless information to me that Jon forgot to close his italics tag, but valuable information for Jon.
At best I'm now more aware that Jon can't HTML to save his life, or is having a fat fingered thinko sort of day.

Something like ...
Private message: You fat-fingered the URL. Put the pipe DOWN.
Okay, maybe a little less blunt.
BTW: The only error that will be reported will be for unbalanced value delimiters that Tidy can't figure out. "Private message: HTML error found. Check your quote marks."
