>>>Where is Mr. xara when you need him. Rhu, send a note off the xara, I remember her hubby being pretty up on all this stuff. I'm sure he'll be able to tell you how to fix it. <<< What, what? Is someone speaking to me? Sorry, I've only been keeping up on a somewhat intermittent basis lately. Holiday hub-bub, you know. My take on the situation has for the most part been expressed. Check the cookies. The only other thing I have to add that hasn't already been expressed by our esteemed colleagues involves insight as to how to change the setting of your cookies in Netscape. You could click on Edit. Choose Preferences. Next, go to Advanced. There you will find 3 settings for your level of cookies: None, Some, and All. (of course, all worded more wordily) I accept some cookies, and my Netscape works just fine. You can also choose to be warned before accepting a cookie. I tried that with this board, and I had to click OK about 20 times before I was able to read a post. Needless to say, I turned that off promptly! If you ask Mr. xara, he will tell you that he needs more information before he can contribute. Then after he asks Rhu about 50 questions, he'll give you some extremely complicated and cryptic answer that translates to just what everyone else is saying about cookies. If you don't get it working, send me a note, and I'll see whether I'm correct about his response.

... And to add to xara's comments. I had one of our in-house nerds track cookies on my machine while I was on the board at work the other day - in a ten minute session with three posts, about 200 were accepted. Since our computers (with Windoze OS) only keep 250 at any given moment, I would imagine the "Invalid Server" HTTP message has just a teensy-weensy chance of being connected with cookie exchange ...

>However, I assumed TEd was pronounced the same as Ted
CK
You assumed correctly. I apologize. It is almost impossible for me to resist pulling a leg when it's dangled so enticingly in front of me. It certainly is Ted to rhyme with zed. The TEd came about when I fatfingered my name when I was registering here. And if I re-register without the upper case E I would lose my credits and have to start over as a stranger.

I'm allowed to assume, HOT. Nay, I'm expected to make assumptions. I'm an economist! And that's me to a "T"—ass-u-me or not ...

In reply to:
carpe ... should have been dative
No, Cap, we'll not let that pass. In the famous phrase carpe diem, diem is in the accusative case, as you would expect the direct object of a verb to be. There are few Latin verbs which "take" the dative; actually more which take the ablative. You owe Jackie an apology.

Well, I can't argue - it's now some thirty-one years since I studied Latin formally. Sorry Jackie. And I can't remember how to decline "die" - can't remember which form it takes, so I wouldn't dare, although perhaps I should have guessed that it was objective.
Quordlepleen, carpe! okay, is it?
