>mine didn't go wide. it put in a line break after the ? both times...
I just checked, and firefox goes wide, IE puts in line breaks -- this on a 19" FPD, full screen, 1024x768.
(in the interests of full disclosure)

I would like to hazard a solution to the discussion as to which of these two sentences is the correct one.
They are both correct.
I would like to hazard a more pointless exercise for anyone who has anything better to do with their idle time.

a) Jean would have liked to have seen those letters.
b) Jean would have liked to see those letters.
Thank heavens, some of us are still possessed with common sense.
I think you have wandered onto the wrong board, somehow.

I didn't bring the question up. In answering it, I was trying to put it aside.
It is incredible that you should criticise me for not being above a question posted by another poster.
If you showed the same magnanimity, this would still be a question about the predicates to dependent clauses in the subjunctive mood, and not a character attack.
So in that sense you are right. I have "wandered onto the wrong board, somehow."
Good-bye.

"moss" is a sock puppet (pseudonym) for an individual who has been banned by management from this site. Apparently, he has taken the trouble to find another computer from which to post. He uses other pseudonyms as well, including "plutarch" "carpathian" and several more. Apparently, he has seen fit to find another computer from which to post. It is generally believed that it is his intention to destroy this board.

I am so angry I can hardly type straight; but first, I'll respond to tsuwm's question: no, I wasn't kidding. My screen did not go wide--that's why I was asking if anyone else's had. I have now EDITED THE POST to break up the not-actually-clickable-link; I hope that helped.
Now...moss/plutarch--you have NO RIGHT to come back on here and accuse other people of not having common sense! What do you call bringing up that name that you said Father Steve--a member of the clergy!!!!--had been called?! If you think that is common sense, then Buster, you have another think coming. I call it damned poor taste.
I'm going to PM ullrich and try to apologize for you--but all I can do is hope to undo the damage you have done...yet again. I wish you would stay away from AWADtalk, period, no matter what name you sign up under. As I told you before, the good posts that you have made are NOT WORTH all the headaches you have caused. To MANY MANY people here, not just me.

Your post is just fine now, Jackie. Now all we have to do is
get tsuwm to edit his where he quoted you.

I GUESS your not the only one to edit a post--but as USUAL, MOSS (AKA PLUTARCH, etc) has edit his post --with out noting his edits--to make it seem totally bland and simple..AND to TRY TO MAKE IT APPEAR as if others are acting UNREASONABLE.
TRUTH is, the current "POSTS' by MOSS ARE LIES. LIES OF OMMISSION. HE has edited away his insults. and he is pretendign to be "mr. NICEGUY'. DON'T be fooled.

I saw "moss" had made a moderate number of postings, and jumped to the conclusion that he was a established member and therefore in some way representative of the attitude of this forum.
Clearly he is not.
I'm sorry if my depature was curt, but I thought that I had found yet another potentially enjoyable chat forum ruined by that intellectual hauteur, nitpicking and antagonism people like "moss" seem to relish in.
I was wrong.
Thank you for taking the time to explain the situation with "moss" to me.
