Ah...rats.


snip offending string

Should be:

346/263.5/150 since: 01/06/2003

It knows the pounds lost, since it keeps track of your initial current
weight and does the math for you. The only thing you need to change
on a regular basis is the middle (current) number, robochallenge
figures out the rest for you.


Thanks for this.

I'm not updating right now because I hope to make a recover before the
end of the month.

I tasted my first Cripy Cream donut this past week. My my my. I'm
proud to say that I only had one, even though I'm not proud to say that
I had one. Back in the saddle, ya?

April.

What's "Cripy" Cream? Is that a bad generic version of Krispy Kreame?

Oh dear - they don't really spell it with kays, do they?

They were free at work, with the box lids flipped up (just like pizza
boxes - quite strange to eyes used to Timmie's boxes), and I didn't see
the name.

I hate cutesy spelling, so maybe I'll be able to abjure them based on
that. Hah.

It's "Krispy Kremes", actually. And if the cutesy name is enough to turn you
off, chalk it up as one more reason not to eat them.

By the way, I don't think I'll ever get used to the bottom-posting thing. If
I'm violating some rule of NG etiquette, please forgive me. But scrolling
down through all the previous responses within a post seems silly to me. The
way threads are laid out, I can read the entire thread if I want to without
going through all the quote marks.

My stats disappeared from RoboChallenge again when I posted my last message.

Ditto here Patte. I find I just pass them by rather than read through
everything. If I don't get what the writer is conveying, then I'll read
down. Also, it tends to show me the comments of people I have killfiled.

"Bottom posting" only makes sense if you also trim the quoted message
to only the minimum needed to provide context, like I did. When
someone quotes the WHOLE message, bottom posting becomes very
difficult to read. While top posting has its place (specifically,
when your reply is referencing to the message but not actually
replying to it), it is NO excuse to quote the entirety of the previous
message.

Always trim the quoted message!

That's too bad. People who top-post without snipping look lazy - more
interested in saying their say than having a conversation.

Here's the classic argument against top posting:

"Because, for people who don't read every day, it's too hard to follow
the conversation.

Why is top posting annoying?"

However: do what you have to do.

Here's a vote for top-posting. Depending on the content, quite often it's
more convenient to read the new stuff at the top, with plenty of the old
stuff below if needed.

Everyone should post in the style they like, no need to force conformity
about this.
