hey_superchick u24 you'll regret entering your email address. and soon, you'll put your name in lowercase with no funny characters. welcome_to_blather. that's not the best place to start, but it's all i can say. 060224 ... u24 oh, and there really is no blather_elite, however much it may look like there is. 060224 ... superchick Well, that just led to a ton of insight. Now tell me more. Why should I use the lower case with no funny characters? And the e-mail, its not as if someone will actually want to contact me anyhow. U have been here longer than I have, so maybe you know something. 060224 ... u24 oh, I'm not saying you should, just that you will.. and with the email thing, you'll regret putting it there because at some point you'll change your email address and only then will you realise that blather just won't listen to me. blather insists that my email address is one that I haven't had for about 5 years now. it would have been better if you'd never put an email address in, but you weren't to know. we all find out too late. see my_correct_email_address for details have fun :-) 060224 ... u24 to elaborate on the lowercase thing... i think what with aol and yahoo and all the rest, we (as web users) get used to not being able to have exactly what we want as a username, hence funny characters, CaSe_AltErn8ion and adding of numbers_2005 to the end of what we really wanted. you needn't bother with all that here. you can just be who you really wanted to be in the first place. 060224 ... *SuPeR^ChIcK* O I C, thank you very much for the helpful information. 060224 what's it to you? who go blather from
