Thanks, Alan... writing it down wasn't an option - my hard drive died,
it wasn't a software issue.

Anyway, I tuned into the URL tonight but the only name I recognized was
Kalahari. 11 names logged in and no one was "home"... Damsel and Crash
weren't even pretending to be there. <sigh> I missed the party -
once again.

The "vex's" aren't people; they are statistic-gathering bots. When I'm not
there I sign out; it's confusing to see people who appear to be signed in
who really aren't there.

Is that why you don't come in there anymore? Hell, I'll write to Vex right
now and ask him to kill the bot. The stats are more of a curiosity than
anything. I've totally stopped looking at them. Get your butt back in
there, lady!

What's your bus speed?

Maybe I know (memory speed?), maybe I don't. I'm not sure, so tell
me how to figure it out and I'm all over that question! I'd like
know too. Bus seems to be a buzzword... designed to separate the know
it alls from the don't know much.

And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for another till the bulk of society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery.

Thanks for the heads up on that! I didn't have a problem with word
wrap in the old version of my newsreader. I don't see an option to
set word wrap, so I reset manually. I will post to the appropriate ng
about this problem, ASAP.

While you're checking... Your "sig" is not coming through on your posts as
a sig, but as part of your message. (See below). You should check on that
too.

You might try the following, just as an experiment... On the line
preceding your sig, insert "--" (no quotes) in the first character
position. Most newsreaders interpret this as the beginning of the sig.

Okay, now you need to add the two dashes on the line before "sf". See

Okay, here's the thing. The content of your sig looks fine now.

However, there is usually a separator; e.g., "--", placed between the
message and the sig content which tells a newsreader where the sig begins.
The purpose of this only becomes apparent the you reply to the post. In
the reply, the sig should be dropped.

For example, when you click to reply to my post, everything beginning with
my name and below should automatically be omitted from the quoted text.

Does that make sense?

What news reader are you using?
