Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

The first link takes you to the buffistas-like-to-hyphenate-words list. I have never seen this. There are tears rolling down my cheeks. If I was drinking something, it'd be all over my monitor.

DX, where are we with the Natter archiving? Can I delete any more of them yet?

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

Natter 9 is ready to go, I just have to put it on the Archives page, but I can have that done this afternoon. Natter 10 is a mess because everyone was posting poetry with PRE tag, and it's taking awhile, so I think next I'll do some of the early Bitch threads instead. Okay?

Order's not important, really. I just want to pare the tables down as small as possible.

Just gimme a shout as each one is done, and I'll sweep up after.

Is there anything we can do to automate your cleanup, so it's not a trial?

Nah. It's mostly automated, but PRE tags mess things up a lot, because they allow long lines that would normally be wrapped to extend too far out. Plus even the ones that don't extend the window look terrible in Mozilla, so I'm trying to fix them, so it's basically going through it 50 posts at a time until it's right.

Nobody

I don't know about everyone else, but I usually only use the pre tag, because single line breaks don't register with this board, and if I'm copying something in verse, for instance, I'm too lazy to put
at the end of each line.

I don't know if it's a project to change the board, so that it takes a single line break, and if so, if that would screw up quick-edit, but I just thought I'd mention.

I'll try not to use "pre" though, because, well, because I like DX. That's why.

Cindy, the problem with PRE for me is that between the way the Phoenix and Mozilla handle the tag, every blank line in PRE formatted text becomes three or four blank lines, which really looks awful on the screen. It looks fine in IE.

The problem with Natter 10 was that we went through a poetry posting phase.
