Who is the Mayor of The Habitable Zone? –TB..

I don’t know Tom, looks more like an answer than a byline.

This is important work we are doing here. We can’t afford to be hasty.

Good grief. Replace “by” with a double dash. My consulting bill will be in the mail.

I suppose you’re right. I’ve just gotten used to considering the last “by anonymous” as being the author.

Much as the claim by RobVG that he is conservative. The post is “Went right”, and the author is “by RobVG”.

And, I don’t really care. I suspect I could figure out ‘most any format.

That’s my dot.

When I’m tinkering around the control panels, I’ll test edits by adding a period, so I don’t muck things up too much.

I am so anal I thought the dot was Venus or something. Can’t wrap my mind around a useless dot.

What’s worse than a 24 hr clock? Both, the original post is a 12 hour clock and the replies are 24.

You call ‘that’ anal?

I want the tiny dot in the upper left corner of the graphic on the homepage- removed. It’s a link to refresh the page, maybe a programming shortcut or something.

And a 24-hr clock? Really? Really?….Are we in the army?

And mine’s set either for MT or PDT, Should be PT

The possibilities abound

The problem is undeniable the solution is flexible, it can also be done with fonts for those that scan from the left a word at a time. Either way is okay with me.

I would heartily agree with you, Frank, if that happened very often. I like the current format whereby I see the poster first, and I don’t usually ever check the date. I’d rather not have to check the date on my way to the poster.

And, if there were a lot of posts which had “by Amos, by Andy” by Bowser on the board I’d think it should be changed.
