  • Especially the six month dead one. 'scuse me while I practice thread necromancy on threads not yet existing. Heh. Wonder if Mofi has a comment deadline or not. If not, this'll be back. Six months to the day.
  • Just curious - How would we know if someone commented on it? Posts drop off the front page and the "Recent comments" goes newest post to oldest post not newest comment to oldest comment. Was this an issue on MeFi?
  • Dunno. I was never a Mefier. Your comments go newest to oldest by post? Mine do the opposite, using Mozilla. Not that I mind, I prefer it that way. Either way though, at least in theory once you read the comments they disappear from your recent comment list, freeing up room for new ones.
  • Is there anywhere online with a dictionary of lightbulb jokes? There were lists I used to have, of lightbulb jokes for musicians, of local universities (had to know the places to get them, but otherwise hilarious), but I've lost them. I'd love to find them again, if only to get the one about my undergrad university right. If there is no list like this, I guess there's another procrastination project.
  • I checked google, and there are a bunch.
  • Mine go oldest to newest in Mozilla too. Don't know about Safari (still no word from Mac people, slowly going insane, lalalalaaa). And also: ten people to tell you it's a double-post.
  • Tracicle; I have an iMac. But that's about all I can tell you. Oh-- I think I have a Superdrive too. It has a a a tray thing. Yes.
  • My FPPs go from newest (top) to oldest (bottom). That is what we're talking about, right?
  • Nickdanger wins! HE'S SO GREAT HE'S SO GREAT!!! HOORAY FOR NICKDANGER!!!!
  • It's not about whether you win or lose, Nickdanger. It's about whether I win or lose. Get it straight.
  • Hey, keep with the cockamamie posting-in-every-bleeping-thread strategy, will ya?
  • Gotta take a breather. Be back tonight!
