| #19 DB - add another one - if you use those childproof outlet caps - electricity won't spill out of each outlet - that's why your electricity bill is so high.....trust me ;-) |

| #18 I don't have the faintest idea what ya'll are talkin' about. There are only 2 things I need to no about electricity. 1, it is magic and 2, don't let the blue smoke out. If you let the blue smoke out of an electrical appliance it won't work any more. |

| #17 .com, that shows up as a link when you click on "comment," but in the individual page, it doesn't. Whatever you do, please don't cause an Internal Server Error; I don't wanna go into Rantburg Withdrawl today. |

| #16 Very interesting what is accepted, what is tossed away, and what causes an Internal Server Error (!!!)... |

| #15 And... |
| Posted by: .com |
| #14 Oh, for the love of...that last comment was supposed to write the URLs out verbatim, rather than converting them into links. And, of course, that's what it looked like in the preview screen. And, apparently, the thing I said wouldn't work, now works. Hey, maybe it is magic. |

| #13 I'd been wondering too. At first I figured she was a PC but it didn't seem to work too well. Interesting the way these anarchic social orders work. Nonetheless, very clever, Angie. |

| #12 Oh, I see. Yes, I've embedded my name in the link. I saw someone else do it, long ago, and thought it looked cleaner than simply having the web site next to my name. CrazyFool, I've found that in Netscape, if you try to embed a link, you can't use: this, because you will get an extra rantburg tag tacked onto the front, i.e.: http://rantburg.com/darkblogules.blogspot.com But if you leave out the quotation marks, it works as it should: like this In Konqueror, you leave the quote marks in. I don't know why it works this way. I see now what .com means. In the list of latest comments, if you click on my name, you get to my blog, not my comment. I never read the comments this way (I only look at them by topic), so I never noticed it before. Actually, if you click on "by", you do get to the comment. Sorry about that. I've fixed it now. As .com says, this is not magic. |

| #11 Just playing to see what it does and doesn't pass along to the posted DB field... Ignore, heh... |

| #10 Well, it turns out that what you see in the preview screen isn't what you see after posting - so there are limits, heh... |

| #9 Do what? |

| #8 Not to belabor it, but... |

| #7 Yea, Angie, I wish you wouldn't. It makes reading your comments here impossible. |

| #6 It's not magic - you can achieve the same visual effect without making it a hot URL link... |

| #5 Do you know how flippin' scary it is to turn to one of your favorite blogs and find your name at the top of it? What the hell? What, exactly, am I supposed to have done? Whatever it was, I haven't done it since April 26. I apologize to all those who were affected, to their families, friends, neighbors, and pets. I take full responsibility. I will make a full and complete investigation into this incident, and ensure it is not repeated. I feel your pain. (That, that oughta hold the little...) |

| #4 I agree .com (and am not using or investigating this further and wont say how its done) But I can see where someone could exploit this to take people to Democratic Underground or Moveon.org or some stupid spam/virus/trojan site. (Boris would have loved it....). |

| #3 And, by so doing, it makes it impossible except from the main screen, where "by" is prefixed, to click on her comment. Use the fields in the posting form as designed, and everything works well. The design is there for a reason. |

| #2 Well I got it partially right. Fred I think you need to filter HTML from the 'Name' and 'Email' fields..... |

| #1 Perhaps she embeds a link in her name.... (I am trying this out now...)... |
