    One problem with threaded comments is you can\’t just scroll to the bottom to read any new comments. Of course maybe only 4 or 5 of us actually read the comments and check back at the end of the day looking for new comments. But Drew, you must check for new commments, how are you going to know which comments are new and which you\’ve already read?

      It\’s funny how ugly the phrases come out if you don\’t have preview.

        In Firefox I see \”Nab, ?????\” and then on the next line three more questions marks. So it\’s all question marks. Also, in your A. B. D. E. F. list above each letter is preceded by a question mark. In IE7 the question marks are little boxes instead. They are probably unicode dingbat chars that I don\’t have a font for so I cannot display them. The chars are not escaped in the HTML source though so I don\’t know what they are.

    Oh man, this is soooo confusing, I liked the other layout much better. No auto-fill, no ‘preview’ aaahgg, I’m having a panic attack!
    One thing is, I don’t see my name on any of my previous posts. One appears under “pete” & one under “mharp” & there’s no cute icons I used, WTF?

        Can we PLEASE just make the “comments” link on the main page a simple link (now it is buried in script). You can add a target=_blank to the <a> tag if you really want it to open in a new window. The script messes up Google and drains off your googlejuice.

    March is the best month of the year because of the ANTICIPATION of Spring! When Spring happens in April, it’s all done & gone before you know it.

    You know we all love you, and if you’re at all feeling down because those other girls have more votes, I urge you to be more sensible and not worry about such things.

    I, for one, will not be voting because I refuse to objectify our fair Joanne. There is much more to her than a picture can tell.
