My guess is that Gus' [link] code has priority unless it's an internal b.org link that starts on a new line.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
And why did it parse the link [link] into [link]? It's a board link ... it should be displayed prettily -- did that stop working and I missed it?
That happened to me once, but it turned out I had accidently copied the "editpost" link rather than the actual "showthread" link, and posted that. The "editpost" link displayed as "[link]," but when I replaced it with the "showthread" link, it displayed the full post information the way it's supposed to. For example:
"editpost" link for post #8987: [link]
"showthread" link for post #8987: Jon B. "Buffistas Building a Better Board" Dec 22, 2004 3:55:05 am PST
eta: It doesn't have to start on a new line for the post info to display, as shown in this post.

If we took, say, five or ten quotes from the file at a time, voted (or polled, since I hate to throw the word vote around here lightly) for the top half of however many in each group, and did that until we got to a number roughly comparable to the number of Buffy and Angel quotes in the file...would that work?
Brenda, from way back. I would not want anyone to have to do a giant death match thing just to cull quotes. All I'm saying is before we actually cull, maybe we should ask Nilly what quotes she's particularly attached too, or ask her if she minds us bascially messing with the major work she did to get the quotes to put them in.
I would hate to presume that it'll be fine with her (or anyone who submitted quotes) to take them out.

Yes, excellent point, Kat.

Like I said, I'm just tossing ideas around at this point, and not particularly attached to any of them.

Aha! I'm actually on buffistas.org and not www.buffistas.org, so it's only tweaking what matches my server name. Which confuses me and needs be fixed. Soon.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I will confer with Nilly before I send the file back to ita. This may not be a quick process, but it will be done someday.

Can someone fix the typo?
