…which isn’t quite finished yet. Most of the links go to the old pages, but I’m working on converting everything over. In the meantime, check it out. [http://teemingmillions.com](http://teemingmillions.com) Let me know what you think. ---

1. I like the look! 2. It loads faster, at least on my system. 3. **Hi, Opal!** 4. I’m sorry, I just HAD to do that. 5. One quick question - on my screen, in Cecil’s quote, why does it say it “kicks but t” with an extra space? Good job! ---

Hey … is that a real quote? You got a quote from the cecil? ---

Oh, and btw, when you corrected the “but t” you kept the space before the period: “butt .” hehe ---

Yes, that is a real quote, and it is from … 1997 or 1998. ---

dan: yeah I did that on purpose. If you view it in the preferred font (Fresh Script), the period sort of disappears into the last t. ---

Wow! Now I’m having the “did I really see that” moment. I WASN’T proofreading - but the quote from the Master should be _perfect_, right? I wasn’t TRYING to pick on Opal! WAAAAH! grumble grumble grumble…like it’s MY fault it was right up there in the middle of the page and I’m paid to catch errors like this and I just can’t help it and now **dantheman** thinks I’m being mean to Opal who I really like. This post brought to you in a misguided attempt to be humorous brought on by no sleep and too little coffee. Have a nice day! ---

Oh. Well, heck. Not that I need to, but how do you view it in fresh script? Oh, no **Typo**!! I’m not chastising you! 🙂 Think of Opal as a nose. Every now and then you have to pick on it. 🙂 ---

OK, I went and registered, Opal. But, man, do some of those names take me back. It’s easy to forget how many people just stopped coming around. ---

Question - do the Fathom accounts carry over? Or do we have to register at TM separately? ---

They are two entirely separate things. Oh, and registering for the site and registering for a profile are two different things as well. Fresh Script is the first font listed, so if you have it on your system, it should show up that way. ---

Gee, you really have a way with words, doncha? 😃 All the same, I think I’ll wait until I’m a bit more established before I start picking on Opal. She seems to have a bit of a following here. ---

Some of those following seem to be carrying torches and pitchforks, however 😉 ---

I’ve been thinking lately how cool it would be to have one place where all the various SDish sites could be linked. And hey, lookit, and lo and behold, there is one. Hope to see your profile there soon, **Typo**. ---

Uh-oh, I don’t see any yet. I clicked on Link Directory, but it “failed to get any items.” Drat! Curses and bad words. Do you just want links to SD stuff such as pic pages and the like, or also links to SD members’ own pages? Maybe a new thread is in order …? ---
