Well after using Netscape 4.7 & having to clear the memory cache every few pages, I decided to put on Netscape 6.1 (this is the latest version). I just want to say that it is very stable with the board & hasn’t crshed yet. It also has lots of other cool features. So those who have issues with 4.7 might want to try 6.1. ---

[sym]doV moi pou stw kai kinw thn ghn[/sym] Does that look like Greek (as it should) or does it just say “doV moi pou stw kai kinw thn ghn”? Others have reported that Netscape 6.1 has trouble with the symbol font. ---

**Moderator’s Notes:** Fonz, knock it off. There’s no earthly reason to be playing this stupid game with our message board. Do not bump a bunch of old threads like this again for any reason. Consider this a formal warning. You may not get another. ---

Naw, AHunter. Fonz bumped up several of handy’s old threads just for the hell of it. No new content, just a bump. He’s playing some game that’s amusing to himself only.

Do not bump a bunch of old threads like this again for any reason. Consider this a formal warning. You may not get another. \*\* Have you ever noticed that you’re boosting this thread more than he is, Uncle Beer? Why? From the links you site, he was posted three boosts in a few minutes when Handy asked if you could. Not a bad joke. But then when it was half way down the page you boosted it again, just to scold. When he was many hours gone. The joke was _over_, but you boosted just to complain about it. Then another 1/2 later. Personally, I’m happier with posters who boost to interact with other posters on a happy level than those who boost just to scold and do so on a sour level. It seems the only reason you ever post at ATMB is to scold people for things that don’t bother anyone else. Even simple questions about the board delays or how to nest subscripts will find you swaggering in to throw your weight around. Don’t you have your own forum to cast shadows on? Not every thread has to be a trigger for your temper. This is a test forum, for God’s sake - people post empty babble just to see if it comes out right. So get off your high horse already. ---

**Moderator’s Notes:** Dubbele, did I not tell you elsewhere your criticisms of the administration and its actions belong in the Pit? This is your final warning. Any more disparaging posts in the wrong forum will result in the termination of your posting privileges. Is this clear?
