Don't know how to reply here without getting pulled in

..into the Scott vs. Karsten SMACKDOWN!!!!! :D

But I'll try.

Read Clockwork; loved it. Kubrick is my favorite director, so you can understand I've seen the movie many times. I laughed out loud when I saw the filter, etc. Still giggling a bit. :)

About 1pm, though, I was ready to turn it off. I happened to see the post about how to do so, and used it a few hours later. No problem.

I have a small (no, really, quite small) suggestion. I do all intranet coding at work, and roll out changes probably two or three times a day, on average. I think I can safely say I have some experience with that buzzphrase, "Change Mangement", in a user-interface context (had a user say "Oh, crap" to a client on the phone this week while changing something :). So my one small suggestion is to make the user aware of how to turn it off in some way that does not require them reading a certain post; I would have stuck it somewhere near the new orange logo, somewhere more obvious.

That's all I wanted to say--just felt I had to envelope it in anti-vitriol boots.

Oh, and totally different topic, when you paste links from Amazon, you can cut eveything after and including the "qid" parameter. Keeps it cleaner.

I said, "Forget the cods, Gill, this guy's gonna need a sturgeon." Well, the yellowtail was impressed with the way I landed her boyfriend. She came over to me, she said, "Hey, big boy. You're really a game fish. What's your name?" I said, "Marlin."
