# Trying to remember dwarfish for "Town Hall"
Deeply relieved to find that I can't.

I'm also weeping 'cos I missed my 100th post. A pitiful milestone as they go, but I'm only little...

# damnit - i wasn't going to tell you all this
but often I check in the admin system, find people's email address, use a complicated sytem of pulleys and levers to work out their home address, go round their house and give em a good kicking. That's the least they deserve.

"Right sonny... threadwaste police here. Stand still while I kick your head in. Sorry. This is going to hurt me more than it hurts you. OK, it's not really. But. You know."

# woukd it be so bad
if there was a threadwaste dropdown, then maybe there could be a filter put on the board so people who didnt want the chatter and just wanted hardcore pro.. pictures could just filter it out by tickling a box?

# DO you mean..
..the end justifying the waste?

# Yes it would
It's pissing about making things more complicated than they need to be that tends to make stuff go shit, IMHO.

# Is it really....
...that much of a hassle scrolling down through the texty bits? After all some of the best discussion comes from a picture post in the first place.

You could always get a mouse with a scroll wheel - I have a couple going spare if you want one :)

# ohhh i probably have as much
fun reading the text as the retorts are excellent too. just thought it'd be an idea for all the people who get their handbags out at the newbs and people drunkedy plunkedy of a friday night.

mayhaps it'd make spazzing back easier too?

[edit]i'm no DB admin but i wouldnt have thought it'd be too hard to stick a query that analyses text to pull out only those messages with urls in em?
