I think that it's his keyboard.  He said that it was sticky.  OMG!

I don't know. Only my space bar sticks, and I'm not adding slashes. I see them if I preview messages, but can't get rid of them.

I was wondering why you have slashes.  Maybe Teh Borken, who is the Admin/Owner of DS can help you?  I'm not tech savvy.

Happy Monday!!!!
*scraping and grovelling in the presence of the cult master*
 
For thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of Juan Valdez
Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of coffee forever.

 ???I think the slashes are added in by previewing my post.

Hey Some Chick, I was a fan of yours on the other board.  We're both from small town BC right?  I was a bunch of names on that board: Bingo, Larry, whatever.    

Some Chick

Ah I see, I do remember "whatever".

  Welcome to our new hangout.  ;)

I'm not positive, but this may have to do with the selection of the Rich Text (HTML) editing window versus the normal text area window. Look at the bottom of a post or reply page and make sure it's set to "Rich Text" for the default:

[span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(96, 154, 159);" class="smalltext"][input value="1" checked="checked" name="richedit" onclick="set_cookie('on')" type="radio"]Click here to set Rich Text Editor as your default
 [input value="0" name="richedit" onclick="set_cookie('off')" type="radio"]Click here to set normal Text Area as your default[/span]
 
The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

Thanks. I think that was it.

 The NTIA - an arm of the US government's department of commerce - is holding a public meeting at the end of July over what should happen to the current Internet overseeing organisation ICANN when its contract is renewed in September. In the meantime, it has opened a public comment board where you are able to email comments for the US government and the rest of the world to see. The board is open now but comments need to be sent by this Friday, 7 July. The email postal address is [A href="mailto:[email protected]"][email protected][/A].

The question of how the internet should be run has recently gained wide international interest following public arguments over the US government's current position as overall authority. The subject is also likely to become all the more important in the next few years as the internet expands to incorporate different languages and different countries more fully.

This situation has already seen a flood of emails from people asking for the US government to reconsider its role and allow a sharing of power between governments at the very top of the net to prevent any undue influence from creeping into the system. Numerous statements are also expected in the next few days from internet organisations, including ICANN itself.

 The "notice of inquiry" asks specific questions about how ICANN functions - and should function - and poses wide-ranging questions about what could be done in the future. There is some concern that since ICANN remains a relatively unknown organisation this will put people off making their views known, so the At-Large Advisory Committee, which represents the views of ordinary internet users within ICANN, has set up its [A href="vny!://icannalac.org/content/view/107/88/"]own query process[/A] to elicit suggestions from the wider public.

 If you want to know more, you can read about it on the [A href="vny!://www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome/frnotices/2006/NOI_DNS_Transition_0506.htm"]NTIA website[/A], or you can visit the people's representative ALAC at its home pages: [A href="vny!://www.icannalac.org/"]www.icannalac.org[/A]. Now's your chance to have you're voice heard, so get typing. ®
