Barb, I'm on a Mac as well. Hold the cursor over the blue name and the number shows up in the status bar at the bottom of the page at the end of a string of code: "Go to "http//www.buffistas.org/profile.php?id=NUMBER"
Simon: The decision saved your life. Zoe: Won't happen again, sir. Mal: Good. And thanks. I'm grateful. Zoe: It was my pleasure, sir.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Barb, I have a MacBook. When I hover the cursor over someone's name, and then look down at the grey bar at the very bottom of my window, their number is there. Jesse's number 8. Wow.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Not sure about Barb, but in Safari on my mac, I don't have a grey bar.

Ah - perhaps it's a Firefox thing?

“Not dead yet!”
Nope, I'm on Safari and I found it. It just didn't occur to me to look DOWN. I'm so accustomed to things showing up right next to where I'm hovering. DUH.
And msbelle, I think if you go into Preferences for Safari, you can request that the bar show up as part of your window.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
And re-reading my answer to Seska, I can see why some people may think I'm nuts.
I'm not nuts.
I'm just trying to make as much as spare time as I possibly can.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
And re-reading my answer to Seska, I can see why some people may think I'm nuts.
Well, I didn't like to say it, as such.*
*I would so much like to follow this sentence with an ellipsis. Watch me try really hard not to do so.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I don't try and compel you ellipsis people to do anything you don't want to do.
At least, not until we'll have a punctuation thread.

Not for nothing, but the lurkers theoretically already know everything about us, due to the lurking....
Crap, she's figured out the secret plan, quick, fellow-lurkers, hide the files!!1

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
That means if you are drawn to us, you do belong here.
Worth posting several times.
I was intimidated due to the timing
Yeah, that was an unusual and unpleasant bit of weirdness, unlike the usual daily weirdness that we love.
Olives - no.
Muffaletta - I eat them when in NOLA, b/c they are an inevitably provided lunch when volunteering, but I'd prefer them w/out the olives. I'm not challenging the rightness of olives, just that I don't like them. Rather have a shrimp po-boy, anyway.
Cilantro - sure.
Double space - yep. Trained to type on an electric typewriter and a TRS-80.
Serial comma - yes, though I'm not dogmatic about it.
Steph, I believe I had the pumpkin ice cream as well. Hmm, I bet my local creamery has a pumpkin flavor out now.
I have, in no particular order and with apologies to those I inadvertantly leave out, eaten Graeter's with Teppy, watched drag with meara, been mistaken for juliana and had my butt grabbed, watched Corb with bonny, driven to atl with katep, met bev's sons, eaten at the Ferry Bldg with Hec, had seafood in NOLA with -t, gone thrifting with Plei and Jilli, seen various bands with SA, and stayed with juliana, DebG, Sparky, meara, and brenda.
ND and various localistas have met my parents. Seattle-istas will likely get to meet my brother next time I visit, as he now lives there.
I variously refer to "my online friends," "the Buffy board," "Buffistas," or just "friends" depending on context and audience.
