Well, if I can think of a way to improve on my(admittedly already fabulous)self, I would do it straight away and not wait for a particular date on the calendar.

But I could possibly learn how to link to other threads. That would probably lessen the fury directed toward me....

You use the hyperlink tool (the button with the little globe on it) and the URL of the thread you want to link to.

I going to try to read The Letters of JRRT and continue my way through HoME - I rather stopped after the 4th...

Maybe Eomer should try to learn humility...

(Sorry, couldn't resist

Yes, but if you use the WYSIWYG editor (which is very nice otherwise), it doesn't give you a prompt for text, only the URL. So I just switch back to standard editor for the few times I hyperlink.
*EDIT: Check out the much more computer savvy Feanor below... Thanks Fea!

Erm... back on topic... I plan to re-read starting with the Hobbit, thru LotR, the Sil, UT, and HoME. Also the Letters and TA Shippey's Author of the Century. And Beowulf. If I get those last three for Christmas, that is.

Of course this is mostly to keep myself entertained after my (leg) surgery and I'm laying around with nothing to do, but I know I'll enjoy it.

You can still do it. What you do instead is type in whatever you want for a word to use as a link, say for instance "Click Me" and you highlight it. After it is highlighted, click the hyperlink thingamajig, and paste in your URL. Click "OK" and it'll turn your highlighted section into the hyperlink.

Good luck with the surgery. I hope everything is okay.

Yes, or you could just learn to accept that there are nearly perfect people. I'm willing to have a little faith in Eomer's claim. After all, it is said that everyone has a twin somewhere in the world, which would mean, if it were applied to me, that there's another nearly perfect person somewhere out there- and how do you know that Eomer isn't my twin?

Here's my resolution- try to keep up with The Downs during the next three weeks (projects and tests, a billion of them).

An intriguing (and somewhat worrying) theory.

(Well, worrying for the rest of you.)

And thanks for the link tips. Let's see if they are ever incorporated into my work.
