I'd been here a couple of months, and had begun to worry about handling all the threads. Sooooo, today I grabbed all of the pages by source, grabbed the tables of links to posts to and from me, and sorted them (the easy way, well, as easy as it gets) alpha instead of chrono.
Please, don't tell me that there's a way to do that automatically, or my brain will hurt.
You could have just bookmarked all of these threads. Then you go to your profile page and click on "Links". I don't understand your purpose for doing this. Maybe if you explain why, we can help you understand a better way.Thanks. Bookmark 'em? Is there a link in each thread or somethin'? If so, I'll try linkin' em. I had no idea anyone would even find and/or notice this thread.
Your "comments" page will have all of these too....but not in alpha order.
Was it really necessary to post the whole thing in a thread? -- EggsAckleySee, now there's an archive of the thread within the thread. All recursive-like. Anyway, thanks to all who posted, that wasn't expected, but it was entertaining. I posted it less than 24 hours ago ("Posted on 03/06/2004 12:43:01 PM PST") and had no idea it would become so popular, here, off the beaten track.
I think we have the Ultimate Vanity thread. -- PAR35
WOW, what the heck did I stumble into....?? -- ThreePuttinDude
And now for something completely different.... -- JoJo Gunn
Huh ? Nothing better to do, SunkenCiv ?? -- MeekOneGOP
I think this poster needs help. -- MEG33
Down with straight ticket voting! Illegalize it! Huh ? -- MeekOneGOP
Are you logged in ?? Try going HERE -- MeekOneGOP

Exactly. Any FR member that is logged in will get their 'my comments' page. I assume anyone that clicks on it that isn't logged in will be prompted to. -- MeekOneGOP
You have a lot of spare time and bundles of energy don't ya?...:-) -- Khurkris
Bookmarking. (Hey, why not?) -- TADSLOS
Reminds me of my misspent high school days. Back in the 70's a friend of mine's father was a doctor who gave us some "study aids" when we had to stay up all night studying. I went over to my friend's house one day and he handed me a huge stack of hand written papers where he had listed all known brands of cigarettes by alphabatized name, then tar content, then nicotene content, then carbon monoxide content, then organized by package color and on and on. Took him 48 straight hours to do it. I kinda figured out that he had taken a few too many "study aids". It was a pretty good undertaking considering there were no computers around and he had to get the information off the advertisements in magazines. -- Lawgvr1955
Pardon me but...why? -- Harmless Teddy Bear
Ah, the eternal question philosophers have pondered for centuries... Maybe this poster did this to avoid pondering that eternal question. I suspect more, however, that this poster did this to P*$$ the rest of us off. -- KangarooJacqui
I still suspect that this is the work of a Moby. They've been posting the weirdest stuff all week. -- EggsAckley
Besides, taking the p!$$ out of Mobies and trolls is the only fun I have left in my boring, friendless life... so lead on, MacEggs! -- KangarooJacqui
Poor guy couldn't even get that right. I am more bemused then anything else. Now I shall go study the insides of my eyelids for enlightenment. Good night, or I suspect good morning. -- Harmless Teddy Bear
Dude- get a hobby. -- AlbertWang
Can I ask a really, really stupid question, at the risk of being flamed for my ignorance? How do y'all "bookmark" a thread? I hear everyone talking about it, but I've never done it. Is it simple? Straightforward? Can you walk me through it, step-by-belabored step? Thanks in advance. And...sorry. -- MNLDS
What browser do you use? With IE you click on "Favorites/Add To Favorites" and can make a special folder if you want. I've made one specifically for the Freep. Seems others have asked about whether you can make them here on this site, but I'm not sure there's a way to do it. Some people "bump" a thread so they can find it in "My Comments". -- JoJo Gunn
Ok, see that blue | word above that says "Bookmark"? Click on it!! -- trussell
Hi JoJo, look at post 27 -- trussell
D'OH!!! I never really pay attention to that line underneath the Keywords. Amazing--I've been doing it the hard way. I Freepmail myself with a link to a thread I want to find again. Thanks a million. Sorry for my stupidity. -- trussell
Hi JoJo, look at post 27 -- MNLDS
AHA!, she cried. I never knew that. -- JoJo Gunn
Hey, no apologizing for "stupidity". Leave the self loathing to the Leftists. -- JoJo Gunn
Sorry for your ??HUH?? That kinda talk is not allowed around here. We are NOT from DUH land!! LOL Happy to be of help. -- trussell
I say you should learn something new everyday. Keeps your brain active!! Prevents brain cells from dying. :) -- trussell
The three I have left are stressed to their limits. -- JoJo Gunn
So, you are one of those people who will say: I've gone looking for myself. If I should return before I get back, please keep me here!? -- trussell Gunn
Oh my God! What the heck is this? -- farmfriend
Looks crazy, doesn't it!!! -- trussell
I'm trying to figure out what the point is and why tell us about it. It's like he is saying look how anal I am in a public forum. -- farmfriend
He's been asked, but he never came back! Makes me wonder if he might be a troll? -- trussell
Glad you liked them. :^)
All bandwidth wastey-like. Look, just hit bookmark on any thread you want to save and they will automatically arrange themselves in alpha format under "links" on your profile page. Much easier.

All bandwidth wastey-like.Hey, if any of us were worried about wasting bandwidth...
Your wish is our command. Okay, not really, but since you asked... Look right below your tagline.
You have "Spell" for spell check and "Preview" to Preview your posts.
Yes, some of us do worry a bit. I donate every month so that there is bandwidth. I would prefer that it not be wasted but suit yourself.
These two are misrepresented. If your going to repost everything, at least make it accurate.
