Thanks, guys, I just figured that out while I was doing some testing. And you’re right, around here a LOT of ridiculing can go on in that 60 seconds. 🙂 I noticed that the flaming folders are missing - could this be a bug, or a good sign? * * * Princess of the Time and Space Continuum since 1969 (upgraded to Goddess 01/07/00) OK, we have enough youth.

Tengu, I was being a little playful by inserting HTML code in the middle of my message. Using \\ and \\ to emphasise your text is fairly easy. What I did was insert some table control tags to interrupt the generated look of the table. In About This Message Board, I did some evil experiments where I turned off the message table entirely. I won’t do that in a serious forum. And now for something completely different. \\\\\AWB\\\ The Larch. * * * Judges 14:9 - And [Samson] took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion. ---
