Hehe... I got yelled at for messing up the other thread. Cause, you know, it was going so well up until that point...

What the... where did P_M's original post go? I swear I only replied to this thread, I didn't start it!

Yeah, right, Clifton, pin it on me.

OK, I cannot let Clifton take the fall for this, as he is one of my favorite posters. I confess, I did start this thread but something has gone wrong with my experiment. I put dots across the page to see if it would get rid of the ad, but it didn't. Then my OP vanished. Hmmm.... :-?

aND NOW BELOW EVEYONEs post is a huge blank space.

Whewww, thanks for coming to my rescue. I thought I was going a little mad! Seemed a bit like I was having talks to the voices in my head via the internet. One of those "high technology meets lower brain function" scenarios. Those almost never turn out well.

yep. guess it did work after all.

Thanks Patrick, now I know to use words and not dots. Maybe my dots confused the system and caused my OP to vanish.

Mimi, I'm with you on the blank space. That's almost as annoying as the ad.
