It never occurred to me, I thought he was just another
earthling...

About forging, it has occurred to me to do this myself to enhance
my reputation with things like "Hey dorayme, you have transformed
my life, I have quit my antidepressants ..." and to, assist me in
defending against (or, indeed making) truly vicious and raving
attacks: having a whole lot of "supporters ".

But I have shelved the idea because I don't know how to do it and
more importantly, so many people here seem to have vays and means
to detect it. And I have developed vays and means of settling
comfortably into killfiles. You should see some of them, there
are even xmas decorations at xmas. Bit sad but ... well it is a
home...

Merry Xmas to you anyway.

someone left Jukka's entire post quoted in a reply rather than trimming it

Bewdy! I could use a hand with the picking and the cutting. No roast

You mean it is one of those "coin-operated" things like outside
supermarkets for kids? I have heard that you farmers are having
it tough and supplement income with stuff but this looks a bit
extreme!

He answered your question precisely and concisely. What's wrong with the

Dynamic content?

If it's the kind of page that users would expect to have dynamic content
and it's of interest to them, they'll return to it despite the color of
the links. If they're browsing a site to see what it has on it, and
they're using the color cues to browse the site without revisiting the
same page, and yet they find that they keep visiting the same page
anyway, first from one page and then from another and then from another,
they'll think either that their browser's broken (because the link color
isn't changing) or that the site's owner is pulling a stunt, which isn't
exactly an incentive to stick around.

If I leave my car for an oil change and I come back to find that the

had no business doing that and take it off right now.

Accomplishing the stated goal has been repeatedly, erroneously referred
to as "impossible ".
Yet, it was quite simple.

I don't need to touch your property here?

Perhaps the general idea that I can manipulate what you consider a
sacrilegious feature infuriates you. But the fact that it can be done,
inherently infers it is an option that a designer can choose if she so
wishes. Were not talking about abortion or gun control here, right?
Why does there have to be so much emotion injected into the discussion
when someone asks these types of questions? Good designers use hacks in
there CSS and HTML all the time. Look at as just another hack one can
use to meet a, in their view, for the given situation, desirable
affect. What's the difference? Hack popularity, thats all. Therefore
this "emotion" has nothing to do with the question "Can it be done?" or
"How to do it?". I think any time you read- "it is impossible" and "you
shouldn't do it- so please don't" in the same arguments it should be a
red flag as the two statements can't logically be accurate.


Turn the radio off.

Change the channel.

Saying its impossible to play Christian Rock is a lie.

Saying please don't discuss the bible all night because I'm agnostic is
a waste of time.

I think your innocence is sweet. Using frames or JS or proudly
making fixed 1024px width sites is far far more emotional around
here than abortion, even personal nuclear weapons.
