You do get a last chance in preview. It’s easy to get overconfident and check the box. If I were king, I would force anything having HTML in it to go through preview.

Lame criticism. Way too many web sites larded with needless Ajax, Flex, Silverlight cruft.

I agree. This afternoon I was seeking information on the CanAm Spyder. I found the site. The author felt the need to stream engine sounds in the background. That sucked up lots of bandwidth. I would have enjoyed viewing the camera shots driving the Spyder, but all the other junk locked up Firefox 3.0.0.10. I was finally able to pluck the PDF file with the specs. Sometimes simple is better. Too much "cruft" makes a site unusable. FR is just sophisticated enough to deliver what I want to see without bogging down the browser with unnecessary network and CPU bandwidth hogs.

The DU thread said Jim Robinson banned them. Well, another day, another lie, I guess.

Interesting.

Carville said all the Tea Bag Party members were 75 year old men.

So is this the latest attack from the left.

We are all just a bunch of senile old men?
Creeps.

Claims we are falling but admits we have become more popular then them.

Makes fun of HTML skills but then screws up the Alexa link.

Here’s something else from the 90’s-ROTFLMAO!

Funny thing, it will probably get a few more people curious about FR. If the twit was truly calculating about his/her purported mission, FR would never get mentioned.

I always post with HTML and always read the preview. Sometimes that isn't enough. When you write something, it's possible to have your mind "fill in" the missing parts when "proofreading". You see what you want to see, not what is actually present. The final post appears a bit different from the preview. Sometimes you spot the goof at that time. It's too late.

You’d have to really work at irritating Jim Rob to get banned. I haven’t seen eye to eye with him on all issues either and he’s told me “Don’t Tread On Me!!!”

I've been hearing of viruses and internet worms that actually do hijack people's webcams. The answer to that is Linux....
