Can't you tweak a stylesheet to make the img tag not actually display? I'd rather, in this pass, just concentrate on what we can control with CSS.

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

If I only had a brain...
In the teaching-my-elders-to-suck-eggs department, Panix just got hacked; somebody stole their domain address.
From Slashdot:
What seems to have happened is that somehow the Australian registrar "melbourneIT.com" yanked the fully paid-up registration away from Dotster (where Panix had it) without any notice whatsoever (this violates all the relevant RFCs for the Shared Registration System and the current ICANN policy *and* seems to indicate a severe bug or security problem somewhere in the registration system).
A recent ICANN change makes this possible.
ANY domain registrar, not just your registrar, can switch your domain over to somebody else if you don't respond within 5 days of being warned. To prevent this, you need to ask your domain name registry to put REGISTRAR-LOCK on your domain name, so that it's not transferred without your giving explicit consent to *your* registrar.
I'm sure you guys are way ahead of me, but I wanted to put out a heads-up just in acse.

That's so strange. I just went in and checked all of my domains and discovered that Dotster already has them all locked.
Except for the dot orgs. No idea what's up with that.

Thanks for that note, Betsy.
Hey, Jon, why don't you go over to DX's house and steal his VERDANA.TTF. That should fix things ...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, I locked ours.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I'd like user pictures in the user info pages. It would be nice to come across whenever I go looking for someone's email or something.
Also, I don't really care about the font, but I'd like to be able to change the size of the text in posts. It's way to big for me--I resize the page to 80% when I'm in Opera.

SA, that is so funny, as I resize the pages to 120% for my old eyes!

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

We've been through this. I tried that. Jon, control freak that he is, then has the pages default to Ariel. I still don't get the pages looking the way I want them. What I once did on one of my work machines was opened up a copy of Trebuchet MS in a font editor, changed all the internal references to duplicate the ones in Verdana, and renamed that as verdana.ttf. That's kind of extreme, though.
If it comes to that, why bother specifying the font in the first place? Neither TT nor WX did. They respected browser defaults in the matter.
