Looks fine here. Have you tried clearing your cache?

Yes, and now it only happens occasionally. but I haven't had it mess up even
once from the web. So, I think I will keep my ears open for suggestions but
not stress up about it.

Or get a newsreader that strips signatures like it is supposed to.

I meant other than the obvious, but in lieu of any better answers, I'm
willing to go with that.

"Never drink rum&coke whilst reading usenet" - rf 2004

How about before and after?

No really, Rum & Coke is my drink of choice. With a twist of lime of course.

Hmmm. Sounds like you are an American. What you are actually drinking is
bacardi&coke with a twist, a totally different thing. I am forced to drink
these things every time I go to America as the bars do not seem to stock
bundy rum (a nice full red rum from up near where brucie lives).

Anyway...

You can drink as much rum&coke as you like after using usenet.

Before using usenet you can drink as much rum&coke as you think you can and
still maintain finger contact with the keyboard.

It is the actual during bit we have problems with.

Some bastard will come along here someday and say something <shudder> funny
</shudder>. Ensues various gurgles, snorts and gasps as usenaut attempts to
laugh whilst also attempting to ingest the last mouthfull of rum&coke.

Inevitably this results in rum&coke all over the
screen/keyboard/mouse/surrounding surfaces. It's very hard to get rum&coke
out of a keyboard. I know. I had to hose out mine last time I was drinking
rum&coke and Mark said something funny.

Mark said something funny.

I think I remember that day.

Point of order: shouldn't it be rum&amp;coke?

What's the ruling on martinis? I've had... several...

 

[Mark Parnell]

What's the ruling on martinis?

Shaken or stirred? ;-)

I've had... several...

As long as you're not drinking them at the same time as posting/reading.

If you can afford to drink too many martinis then you wouldn't need to by
typing in to usenet, you would cause somebody else to do it for you.

I'm a bit shaken right now.

As long as you're not drinking them at the same time as posting/reading.

Well, call me a rebel.

You're a rebel.

Hey, if you can afford to replace keyboard/monitor when you splutter
martini all over them because someone says something funny, go ahead.
