...not without a long, long stick!

'Twas obvious it (this discussion) would show up again; it was sought and found by this or that or who-knows-which individual among us who posts a lot! And why not?

But alas, you can only look at it in "flat" form!

Eee, eee, I finally get to pass on the amazing (to me) piece of info. that was taught to me here (by tsuwm, if I recall correctly).

Yes, you can view it in threaded mode. I just did, for half a second. Go up to the page address and click on it. Using your "go left" arrow, run it back until you come to the word flat, as in showflat. Backspace to delete the flat, and type in threaded, so that the word becomes showthreaded. Hit Enter or Go, and voilà: threaded mode.

flat mode is better. Usually.

Edit per Rhuby:

flat mode is gooder.



Edit redux per wofa:

flat mode is goodly.


<sigh>

This posting, along with all its pals, has to stay "flat-only," as it has had a limitation thrust upon it. You couldn't look at it any way _but_ flat without flaunting that spirit! It would be a violation. You can't avoid it. It's intrinsic, in a way.

Flat is good. Today, anyway!

I affirm thou art right - both of you, singularly, must contrition show.

(and wofa is right, too!)

Such an irritant. Happily, my uxorial companion will pass many a joyful hour in pursuit of a luscious lawn.

Today was busy for my brain and digits, as I got an additional tasking. I sat in front of a monitor for six and a half straight hours, studying two unfamiliar programs and kinship amongst a trio of big groups of data upon which said programs function. Towards day's finish, I took to tapping buttons, but did not finish this job. It could span months.

Spanks! Many SPANKS to you who post taboo thing. Put it not in this locality. IT IS TABOO.

Alas, no yard work for my yard this spring ... it is still too cold. It is only April, anyway.

What did I do in my yard this Sunday? I was not in my yard, but that long sandy swath on a small island off coast of Rich Port. That salty H2O was blinky and colorific, akin to lapis lazuli, that sand akin to sugar and warm. Wind in my palm things that drop coconuts my hammock did sway. My lips an arc did form and joy was my company.

Last Sunday was a day of work for this author, first to put in bag all Parish Council monthly moot things. Following that, to find from books what I must say on this coming Saturday and Sunday, at Alston Hall School for Adults, about Victorian and C19 ways of passing days and hours of not-working. This is hard, but fun. Around forty adult scholars will pass Thursday through Monday at this School, with four tutors. Accomodation and food is of high quality, as is post-prandial drinks in a small bar!!

Con, your days abroad did you good, this is obvious.

Rhub, during this span of hours away, is Spring and its connotations part of said Victorian ritual? Por favor, hoist a post-prandial libation in hono(u)r of all things good.

Yeah, Con, but did you enjoy yourself?

Additional taboo things! BMarduk, and conni, and CapK all post taboo things. How do I stop you from this? Spanks don't work.

Hmmm. As punition, spanking is in doubt. You must carry out additional work on improving sanctions. Taboo symbols propagating and multiplying rapidly.

A sad story of my own:
My car, which has for long faithfully brought from location to location not only my body but also my goods that I own, is out of action. A too-much-warming of motor has put it off-road, bringing about my marooning far from my living-location two days ago. Bus was my saviour, although a trip of two hours turning into four is not a good thing. Now my car is far away and old malfunctioning coolant pump must go into a bin, substituting a coolant pump brought from a factory in a big country that occasionally starts world wars. How long must I wait? Who knows.

Taboo symbol now is not. I had thought I had won but did not. Thou art right, though. Spanks don't work.

A puisant sanction is that all using taboo words find that this company finds it ridiculous and laughs. Ostracisation follows and shaming occurs.

Poor, poor hibby had bad luck with his car. I wish that it is good soon.

Spanks don't work, cuz mayhaps sundry of you savor it too much??? Oh, my.

Shaming might work, it might. Or not. I don't know with this group.

With much rounding of look-balls and grinning mouth, I study posts atop. Took aback by taxing protocol but totally buying it.
Hast thou noticed similarity most curious to talk of old? Marry, tis a thorough parody of talk antiquity. Now you I task with this rough taunt.
Try it in SoCal.
