Aha, thanks, Consuela. Thought it might be something like that but I wasn't sure.

And thanks, too, Ita. Is the formatting to be done mostly grunt-work that would be easy to explain to someone with a very basic knowledge of html (i.e. me. eep, I think I just semi-volunteered) or is it something best done by someone who already knows enough about the running of this board to not need instructions?

Cuz I have been known to grunt.

Err....

Oy. Everything is my fault.

ita -- I tried to send you some about a month ago. Actually, I think I sent it to the stompies e-addy.

Does that not get to you? Or did I not format them correctly?

Not everything, Nilly - the sinking of the Titanic was all me.

Given that we're all deathmatched out at the moment, we could maybe figure out a way to take Nilly's list and winnow it down to, say, a top one hundred.

Does that not get to you?

I saw an e-mail from the 19th asking about formatting, which I thought I'd replied to, but no, I didn't see actual quotes.

Going back into the admin mailbox reminds me -- the FAQs probably need deep rehauls (beathen points out we know what happened to Miss Kitty Fantastico). I also remember this being discussed and even performed (though not put up) earlier -- am I making things up?

WS, the format is:

season #, episode # , "charactername", "quotation", "show initial (A, B, F)"

Please, please, please, NO double quotes inside quotations. It makes the baby Jesus cry, and tests my search and replace skillz.

Do you think there's too much Firefly, or too little of the rest?

There must be a bunch more ready to steal Buffy and Angel quotes we can mine...

Not that I would advocate such a deplorable action.

I'd be willing to help add Buffy/Angel quotes, but I don't want to go through ALL of the episodes or ones that someone else is going through. Maybe some organization for those willing to do this...?

Not having seen Firefly, I often have a "huh, guess you had to be there" reaction to those quotes. I can't recall the perfectly delicious delivery and be caught up in the memory - they just fall flat.

I think the Top 100 idea is great. That will give a nice nibble of the show, and inspire those like myself to remember the resolution to buy the dvds (like, right after I get a dvd player).

Think about it from another angle: The shows that ran several seasons should have a larger proportion of quotes. So cull a bunch of Firefly quotes, or expand the Buffy quotes to, what? 5000ish? Who wants to do that?
