Not really ATMB, but not sure where else to put this.

The post at the top of the group (which I just discovered and joined) instructs you to: “Click the title of the document, then click “Edit” to add yourself to the list. Add yourself to the top so we can see who is new when it shows up on the wall as it’s updated. (periodically re-alphabetized).”

I did just that and when I saved it, the post lost all of the carriage returns, so all the usernames ran togetherjustlikethis.

I just edited the thread to add the returns back in, but the post doesn’t appear like it used to, with Opal as the author. I broke the friggin’ post.

Anyone know how to fix it?

Now if only you could wreck the whole Facebook so it didn’t work any more.

There was a facebook group, but then Leaffan came along and broke it, so…

Actually, it was only mostly dead, and has since made a full recovery. It’s called Straight Dopers.

This explains the barrage of emails about the doc that I’ve gotten. I know who to blame!

Facebook. It’s totally on them.

Rats. I was hoping to go through its clothes for loose change and go out for an MLT.
