_if this is the wrong place to post then please move it to where it belongs_ Apologies to all whom I’m currently engaged in discussion with but I must withdraw for the night. Bachus is interfering with coherency and I’m sick to death of typos every 2nd word. I’ll catch up tomorrow, but for now -Good night Dopers of the world. Zeke ---

Jeez, I haven’t done a vanity search in at least, oh I don’t know, 12 hours or so, and look what pops up! Thanks for the concern DitNA! Anyway. I’m here, I’m ok, I just had to step away from the Dope for a few hours. But hey, while I don’t want to \*completely \*make this thread about me, I was wondering how often I should check in so that people don’t worry-- every six hours? Four hours? Every 90 minutes or so? Or would an hourly check-in be the way to go? ETA: If I can get 20-25 responses to this query, I’ll average them out and use that. Kthanx! ---

I was going to start a new thread for this, but I guess it can go here: This morning I discovered that I must have inadvertently pressed the CAPS LOCK key on my keyboard last night, sometime before going to bed, and it remained on all through the night. Fortunately I noticed something was “off” and immediately disabled it before it had a chance to do much damage. I realize that _this_ board has an all-caps filter (and thank God— now I feel like such a heel for complaining about it in the past) but most websites don’t provide that safeguard. What if I’d written an email? What if my _wife_ had used the computer… shit, I don’t even want to think about it. Anyway, I just wanted everyone to know I’m OK, and please let this be a lesson. Keyboards may look like toys, but they’re not. One moment of carelessness could lead to tragedy. Always remember to “Check Twice, Type Once.” ---
