4 -just 4 pages of paper.. 2 if you double side them, and not much to read if you are too cheap to spare 4 sheet of paper..

READ the FAQ and learn how things work--print them and reas as you are waiting for pages to load..

there is a link right on top of page --just over from check private.

PRE is not a secret. not everyone has a 48 inch monitor. wide pages are real pain in the ass.

you can go back and ADD Carriage returns (ie, hit enter) on long lines, and break the text up into managable lengths.

AnnaS., I have 653 new posts in W & F; dunno when I'll get up the nerve to get back there.

Helen, what's an arawak, please?
Edit--just re-read your post; I should have also asked what are caribs?

function as I'd expect

Well, if you expected it to cause the machine to hang, requiring a reboot, I'd say it was a resounding success.

Sorry, Fong - I'd tested it but of course only on an industry standard PC ;)

Carib--too easy, unless I have been deceived
...
Arawak--no idea unless it's Alaska

Tupi--no idea
.........
Catawba--no idea
..............
Salish--no idea


carib and arawak are tribes of the caribean.. not sure which lived on which islands or if there lands overlapped, but you were right with carib.

tupi- (WAG) is eastern US coast (thinking of 'tupilo'-- several native trees carry tupilo as part of there name.. and making a WAG based on that.

Catawba--an other WAG, north eastern US --anywhere from deleware to canada but i don't know a specific area.
--there are native grapes with this name that are grown in NYS. so maybe the finger lakes area.

salish-- one of the Pacific north west groups. (anywhere from northern california to alaskan panhandle..i don't know specificly where, but somewhere there)

Tupí is a Brazilian tribe. The Guaraní are located in both Brazil and Paraguay -- in fact, the name of the Paraguayan currency (FWIW [sic]) is guaraní.

>Is your title saying the site is full of s**t?

I can't help but to have noticed that some folks have difficulty rendering *^$@ (the above
ultimate word), even when triggering recognition in the reader seems to be of enormous gravity.

here then is a bit of quasi-steganography for you: $#!+
