As usual, ChiefScott has it right. If I want to watch cartoons, I’ll turn on Nickelodeon. **DOUSE THE FLAMES!** * * * Plunging like stones from a slingshot on Mars. ---

I’ve noticed that the flames are a lot less annoying if you’re using Netscape. Yet another reason to hate Bill Gates. ---

Using Netscape and the flames are still stuck on the desirable scale between a kick to the head and rapid blood loss. Damn the flames, damn the flames to Hell!!! (oh, wait a minute) ---

::gets out her SuperSoaker and douses the flames:: Hate the flames… too distracting for there to be that many of them. I also can’t see their purpose since the number of responses is right there in front of our eyes for people to read…and if I am not mistaken, most of us here know how to read! * * * I really try to be good but it just isn’t in my nature! ---

It’s a good thing they’re gone. Some people have a tenuous grip on sanity as it is. All it takes is a couple of annoying animations and SPROING! a little spring in my… er, I mean that kind of person’s… mind pops and all hell breaks loose. ---
