I remember those. I just found a bunch of SCSI cables that I probably paid $25 each for.

Perfect. Thanks, Zazu. And the Monorail goes really well on this color scheme.

Okay, so I have to ask... Wombat, when you designed the Monorail wrap, did the BU colors have anything to do with that?


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

You should, I just tested permissions as you and the "edit" button was above all the posts.
Yes it is, and I can edit everything else, but don't see where to edit the name of the sender.

You can't change the sender/poster. He edited your entire post. I'm not sure what it said, but it's tied to your username in the DB, as well as your IP.

I can neither confirm nor deny that information.
