... sock puppet?

Gee, Mr. Flibble, they found us out... what ever shall we do with these troublemakers?

(mmf mmf mmf)

Oh no, we can't do THAT... who would be left to clean up the MESS?

Thank you all for the kind welcome!

There are REALLY no people here, who are evil? *suspiciously looks around at chirping birds in a clear sky.* I guess that makes me the first!

(Except for Lord Kodos apparently.)
Seriously, looks like a very nice forum. And if I sit on my head, and read upside down... it's just fine.

and all the blood will rush to your head and then you'll fit right in in the nonsense thread.

While there is little wrong with puppetting in and of itself, it is considered poor netiquette, or socially irresponsible, and is usually used (almost always used) in conjunction with poor behavior. Really, I see nothing wrong with it either, but then I tend to lean rather Libertarian.

I would like to say that I did not even imply that Fyron is a Troll. For one thing he doesn't troll here. For another thing I don't see how such an statement could be solidly backed. And finally it could not be worth the trouble: I have great confidence in his ability to defend himself against such an accusation.

That's true, and it is pretty inconvienent. If only printer friendly could be a settable default.

There's another problem 'tho. When you search for a certain message in a multipage thread, sometimes you don't even get close to the responce you selected -- and the numbers don't help. The search identifies response number, but the forum doesn't list them anywhere.

Fifteen (fourteen?) entries per page. Math, unfortunately, but still possible.

A cumbersome but available work around is to roll your mouse over "IP: Logged". The reply number will show up on the lower status bar in MS IE.

Ohhh. Sweet. That should go in the FAQ.
