Where is everybody?

Coffee everywhere! . . .

I tried to warn you . . .

I have been extremely busy at work, and traveling to boot... And I'm really not sure when my schedule will reach some sort of normalcy.

However, I do believe the 100-200 users online probably represented 150 or more... shall we say, non-people?

As Capt. Kirk said in The Wrath of Kahn, "You have to understand how a starship works."

I was doing it the hard way (doing a View Source and pawing through the code) until I just now finally saw how the page was constructed and figured out a shortcut (pun intended).

At the top of each post is a line something on this order:

Notice the icon before the word "Posted." It looks kinda like a page with one corner bent down. If you hover your mouse pointer over it you'll see the little hand appear that indicates a link. It's a link to that particular post. Do a right-click, select Copy Shortcut from the popup menu, then go paste the link into an URL tag in your post. Voila! You have a link to a particular post!

Example:

For definition of Loop see: Loop.

Or you could just do a search, go to the page by clicking on and copy and paste from the address bar.

Waaaaay kewl! It must be the 'scope, I never noticed.

Bailey: I'm all for lazy but you wouldn't get the exact post.
Nice Carlin line too. So true.

it works for me. I use the search function, for the exact post I want, then in search results I click on that post and c & P the results in the address bar.
