You’ve forced me to again start Safari, turn on cookies, log into the Dope and go into this thread as Firefox sits idle, rolling its eyes. Hold your mouse button down or click your trackpad and drag the cursor over the blank post. The two white dots will show up. I’ll have you know that wasting my time having to run a second browser just for this thread is making me late for saving someone from the clutches of evil in some other thread! On the other hand, I’ve saved the Dope from a conspiracy theory that would inevitably lead to the torches and pitchforks of senseless mob violence. Oh, the humanity. ---
