Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I just managed to (accidentally) block someone, and I am not sure how, since all I did was hit previous. Any hints on how to not do this?

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

The version in [link] uses Tidy to do the work on display. I didn't see any negative performance hits.

The board is protected from mismatched delimiters, with no automatic repairs made.

Contexted links for raw urls, and "m" for tiny-font are the only functional changes.

(ita, I stripped out all the code I put in that is now being handled by Tidy.)

If Tidy isn't changing the stored post text, but is only changing it on display, then I think we should have a little warning message inserted at the bottom of the post. Suggestions?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

m Is that small font thing implemented already?

Ah, clearly not. What is all this Tidy talk, anyhow? I'm so confused.

'm' for microtext is only in the lab, P-C. Tidy is a tool for fixing html. Also only in the lab.

Dammit, Gus, I just got home from the lab. Don't make me go back!

All is well that ends in pizza.

You'll go back! You'll go back and *like it,* you will!

ETA: Okay, that came out not so much mock menacing as, well, Yoda.

I don't see nothin'.

I am imagining something witty, yet clear, at the bottom of the post, using the edited-by class.

Format change done [link] , allowing for variances in the definition of 'witty'.
