Well, the code was written assuming the complete perfection of all admins. Which is so self-referentially flawed that I may disappear in a puff of logic.

If there are no messages, I can delete ASAP. And that should be on the features list (in addition to the display of thread ID on the thread maintenance page).

I also considered changing them to something like "Boxed Set, Vol. 1: Dragnet, I Dream of Jeannie, and Dynasty."

only ita can kill a thread.

But can she prevent forest fires?

Heh - my TiVo keeps thinking I want to see I Dream of Jeannie. I think I've finally convinced it to stop, though. (I'm fairly certain this is because I'm fond of the 1960s Batman reruns, but c'mon! Those are funny! For the big Batpole and the little Robinpole alone, they're worth it.)

We disabled that feature after about the fifth fishing-and-hunting show. Not sure why it thought we'd like that sort of thing, when most of what we tape is SF, science documentaries, and old movies.

I always thought the Batpole and the Robinpole were the same size. (Oh, would Dr. Wertham love that line...)

I almost snorfled my root beer at that, Katie.

THAT'S what it reminded me of. Thank you Trudy. Oh. This isn't Natter. But this is natter. Oh, hell, it's it in a natteresque section.

I'm totally serious. If you watch it, you'll see that the pole that Batman slides down is considerably greater in diameter than Robin's.

Curse you, wee Katie. Now I'm going to have to look next time I run across the show.

Probably needed to be that thick to support Adam West's weight.
