wow
Between Kieva's and of troy's posts the screen went wide. I mention the posters *only because some folks have more posts displayed per page than others.
OK, that's the last time I'm mentioning wide posts Sorry for the "sneck" kerfluffle Jackie I'll just adjust by using the space bar and wonder who sent it or slide back and forth and enjoy the dizzy effect or .... oh pooh.


It seems to be happening more and more of late.
Please explain the cause, and is there a remedy for this?
Will be grateful for any technical explanation.

I don't know of any other way to say this, so I'll just say it again. it's caused by a long character string, with no spaces or dashes. jazzo put in a long url a few posts back, which made everything wide again. this particular one you can compensate for by making your AWAD window full screen.

Good grief, six pages in defense of The President? I thought that it was a joke, and that there would only be a blank page upon opening the thread!

So, you lawyers, is making someone look like poop called libel, slander, or defecation of character?

wow, o'T, and mav: are we all talking about the same painting?

Yep, I am certainly referring to the David painting of Marat slumped in a bath, with quill in extended right hand and a list in his left...

As for defense against the president...

in paris in 1989? alas no.. England, but not paris. i haven't been to paris since my honeymoon, but that was the same year Keiva went, since in my own inimatatible why, i got married one year, and had my honeymoon six months later in another year..

and definately the first time i saw the painting, i did not know who marat was... and still know almost nothing about him.. except french revolution, and being murdered in his bath..

My bad, I can get rid of it if you'd like.

I just noticed that I haven't had a problem with wide screens. The links are wrapping naturally for me. I wonder if it's a Mac thing, Anna?

of troy: in my own inimatatible why

Don't mean to give you a hard time on your typing, as I know your thoughts and ideas come fast and furious and you pour them onto the keys, occasionally hitting an extra one, or your intended key's neighbor, or distant cousin - but I loved the idea of your inimatatible why. I think we've all got 'em - it's why really understanding people and their motives is so tough.

From now on, when I just don't get where someone's coming from or why they've done something, I'll chalk it up to the ol' inimatatible why.

p.s. - I also love the David painting - very haunting
