Thread Name: BS: Mudcat ~~ why all the HTML required for links?
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat ~~ why all the HTML required for links?
Like Bill, I remember the days of line breaks and having to learn HTML just to post much around here. Most of us learned all that through Mudcat. And if you notice the link maker even refers to a link as a "Blue Clicky".......We were all so dumb we had no idea what it was called and Rick Fielding coined the phrase "Blue Clicky Thing" which ended up as a song by Amos as I recall.

BUT MtheGM YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS:

Michael, I know you find it a bit difficult to use parts of the 'Cat and that is normal. You see, many of us who have been around for a long time have access to features that you don't, like the automatic link maker. There is also a built in spell check with selective override and a far more advanced posting set-up with complete formatting functions. You don't have access to these and there is a reason for that which you need to know.

We really don't like you Michael. You're a Brit and a pain in the ass Brit to boot. You're intelligent which is threatening to us and we suspect you have rampant dyspepsia because you lost your balls in a Rugby scrum. Correct me if I'm wrong but one of your team thought it was a scrotum instead of a scrum and.......well, I can't go into the details here.....far too disgusting and sad. We also assume you like cricket which of course makes you suspect in many countries just on the face of it.

Even though you're pretty much a complete jackwad and all, I wanted to be honest with you here as outside of these many character flaws you're not a bad sort of jackass at all.

Regards,


Spaw
