Actual, he's Central American.Panama, of course. (So much for my dreams of going back to school to become a geographer!  ) (non-North) American works, don't it? I love the way people love words on this site!

Yeah, why couldn't you hear her parentheses? I mean, ain't they big enough? Don't they have a big enough footfall? Not that you've ever heard tell of anyone seeing them since 1947. But then, not many people in their right minds got to Roswell, NM, and, by hokey, if they do they don't come back the same!

the stone age discussion:
http://wordsmith.org/board/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=miscellany&Number=499
Anyone else having difficulty with this thread? I get through the first page OK, then get a blank page. If I click on "show all" I get the 'Lichen on Basalt' thread coming up. Sigh!  Really wanna know more...
BTW, can't believe no one bit on the red herring I threw out before!

I'd post a link to a thread(s) which covers this, but it would probably be too long. 8 )
so in your preferences, set number of posts per page to 99, and hope that folks obey the "don't post more than 99 posts in a thread" edict, without getting all upset about edicts from the old folks.

hev, tsuwm, you can still solve that problem even if the "99 psts per thread" has been exceeded. Taking your example, hev, where the post-number in question is 499:
Proceed as you did until the "wrong thread" comes up (and convert that thread to "show all", if it isn't shown in full).
You'll notice that in your browser window, the post-number is not "499" as it should be. (The AWAD software has changed it, thus giving you the wrong thread.)
Put your cursor in the browser window, and manually convert that number to 499; then hit "enter". Voilą!

Hey, I wasn't gonna yell YART, I was gonna whisper. I got sensitive ears, ya know. Then, I couldn't find (like I really care) my own *handel's explaination. I remember saying that my bio explained it all, but I've since changed my bio (the written version ). For anyone new who gives a flying... No, I'm not sick of music. I stopped performing professionally (and I use the *words losely Hi, Juan) about 6 years ago after about 15 years of unmitigated pleasure. Sort of a combined 'music' and 'homesick'.
