Our new look has generated a lot of reaction from all over the Axis of Good. Here’s some tips, replies, and sundry pieces of business:
- Since so many of you were searching the site for “Bushlet,” I’ve imported it into the new format and put it in the new, searchable archives. If there’s any other old favorites that you’d like me to make more accessible, just let me know. It’s not hard to do.
- If you’re using Netscape 4.x… Apparently, this site doesn’t look all that terrific anymore in that venerable browser. Netscape 4.x is a very old browser (it was first released shortly after Bill Clinton began his second term), and it predates some of the standards that this site now uses. There are, however, some solutions: If you widen your browser window, it’ll look better. If you click on the time code for each entry, said entry will open in its own, well-formatted window. If you download ANY more recent browsers (Netscape 6 or 7, IE, Mozilla, Opera, Safari, etc.), the site’ll load jes’ fine.
- Many of you have expressed dissatisfaction with the results of the 2000 Presidential Elections. I can’t fix that (though apparently someone did! Hey! Thank you, ladies and germs!).
- As for other feature’s you’ve requested (like email notification)… give me some time. I still haven’t gotten around to creating everyone’s requested avatars in the Forum. Or posted the requested wedding photos. Or come up with an internationally acceptable rationale for immediately attacking Iraq (sorry, Don, I’ll get right on that…).

1"If you click on the time code for each entry, said entry will open in its own, well-formatted window." - thanks for that.
I am using IE5.0 in Win2K, and the text frame opens using the left half of the window, with a blank page on the right. When I widen the window, the text frame becomes much narrower on the extreme left, with the rest of the screen empty.
As a fellow Apathete, I realise that this might be an intentional statement I haven’t got around to understanding yet, but in case it is not I submit this information point for consideration.
Apart from that, I am eternally grateful to the good Doc for pointing me to your site - home at last! Many Thanks.

2IE, like Bill Gates, follows its own rules. To hell with those standards
This site looks fine and lovely courtesy of the much beloved Mozilla browser.
Might I sugggest a <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/">download</a>? It’s got pop-up ad killer!!

3This sight is great!!! I got here thru a link on Wait, Wait don’t Tell Me! I’m looking forward to reading more fanatical apathy.

5Hey Adam. One tiny. It usta be that when I wanted to post a commink, this commink window would automagically recognize me. Now, I haveta type myself in each time (O-pos). Is this normal for "Apathetes" (which I like)?
(Oops, I now found the "remember into" check-box. Sorry. I’m checked, again.)

6Would that be "effete apathete," ya think? Oh, and Adam, I’m surprised you let Ron Ziegler’s death pass unnoticed. He’d call that "a third-rate omission," I’m sure.

7FA looks just fine in IE. Or, I believe that it does. It’s all in one’s perception you know;-)

8FA is in the eye of the beholder?
Looks great to me (IE6) in XP.
