On “The Sullen Illusion

Testing block quotes in comments, which seem to have lost the funky double-quote leading symbol.

Sing long her way size. Waited end mutual missed myself the little sister one. So in pointed or chicken cheered neither spirits invited. Marianne and him laughter civility formerly handsome sex use prospect. Hence we doors is given rapid scale above am.

And yet here we are, after the blockquote.

On “The Bloody End

Testing, reply to Martha Moeller comment.

This comment is at the maximum nesting depth, but after I changed comment-template.php to put reply buttons at all depths.

On “The Bloody End

Another comment, nested at maximum depth. I'm curious what happens to the order.

Still deeper nested comment. When I started this my name, email, and website information were autofilled. Not always now.

It is pretty. Much more contemporary.

On “Wave in the Dragon

Dangerous stuff now: a link to an image.

"

Bunches of HTML stuff put into this comment. Italics. Bold. Strong Emphasized. Small text. Large text.

One of the things the site has always
done badly is preformatted text.
Even though the wording over the comment box
suggests you can do it.

On “The Someone of the Wife

Shy resolution instrument unreserved man few.

This comment as written included <blockquote> tags, as well as HTML named glyths.

I, for one, expect random text generators to do a better job of getting all of the parts of speech in sentences.

What are we, barbarians? "Shy resolution instrument unreserved man few," indeed.

On “Forgotten Valley

The "Reply" and "Report comment" links are dangerously close together.

How a house gets stuffed to overflowing... When I finished my masters degree in 1978 and moved to NJ to work at Bell Labs, I needed a dresser. Still with a poor grad student's attitude, I bought a 5-drawer dresser at the local cheap unfinished furniture store. Some stain and polyurethane and I was in business. The dresser was demoted over the years and is currently storing stuff in my office/lab. One of the wooden drawer slides broke the other day and instead of getting rid of the dresser and fetching one of the ones in the basement, I spent parts of three days gluing everything back together properly.
