Maybe they are changing the main bearings...

I was just responding to my "tinfoil-hat" response of how many states use Diebold voting machines (34, BTW...) when it came up LOCKED.

Arrgh! Unless it's a Pirate fest... arrrgh...

Gee, I was afraid I'd miss something, and then again, afraid I'd p-o-ed somebody more than usual, and then I see that the lock down lets me have the last word!

... er... temporarily, I admit. and in only one thread ... but

It sucks because I remember reading the most recent posts before the forum got locked, but I was back from the bar and dead drunk... so it's in my head but it's all fuzzy... I remember Simon being on a rampage for starters, but did Simon close the forum? He'd be my hero!

Dale's changing the dilithium crystals in the server's warp drive, that's all.

Hope that helps--

The Undisputed Cat is present. It's Saturday night. Where else would I be?

Yes, I saw that.

However, umlauts are not universal, apparently. For instance, once when I began the study of another language, I found variations on certain vowels, in particular, a and ä, and, o and ö. So, my being an attentive student, I asked around, as could the letters ä and ö represent the letters a and o, but with an umlaut? Well, and in a word, no, the particular language which employs the letters ä and ö is not a germanic language, and indeed doesn't even have a word for umlaut! That is, there's a and o and ä and ö, and that's all there is to it.

BTW, as ä and ö are not part of an English keyboard, and as the keys they otherwise occupy are needed for communication in English, it's been necessary for me to switch my keyboard back and forth repeatedly, just to bring this umlaut discourse to you, dear readers. For instance, thereäs Ö+= uses the same keys as there's :-)
