burra: Is that a Quasar on the back? Kinda looks like it..book is slightly bent though. Makes it difficult to tell...

Actually it's in Works, an old version of Word. I upgraded to Word in August and that pic was taken in July. So close! But you're right, it's not indented. I'll bask in the mystery a while longer and tell you the amazingly anticlimatic text later.

I dunno, I left the book at my house when I came back to my dorm. It's a book about how to debate Atheism. I really hope my mom didn't throw it away when I left.

I agree,

No, it didn't have anything to do with the Barrow Downs, considering it was a few months before I joined. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

The reason I pointed it out is because I typed it up specially just for the picture. My parents had just got back from a vacation and my mom was using up the roll so she could get the film developed, so she took a pic of me at the computer. But I had time to close what I was doing and type up a little ditty I thought would be funny. So you can imagine my disappointment when it didn't even show up! Dogs!

Anyway...

There! I told you you'd never guess and it'd be anticlimatic. But I have a thing for bad poetry. Yeah....

Thank you, Alk. *bows* It was a pleasure to help.

Helka (and all others as well)

The reason some names re-appear is not that we've made mistakes in copying them, but is caused by either several people wanting the same name and therefore you will sometimes find the same name, though with small differences.
Or, a person has signed up, but finds that the name was spelled wrong or something like that and then makes a new account with the name spelled right. Which is probably what happened in the example given. I
f you look close, you'll see that one of the names is Maltaoreien but the other is Maltaoreion.
Where one has an "e" at the end, the other has an "o".

From what I understand, it should be impossible for two people to sign up with the exactly same name.

Look! There I am, in tiny green letters, on page 2! I feel so special. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Quick question: Is there a reason why the first 1187 names are a darker shade of green?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know what I think the reason is
As I was copying the list into the web page from my word master file the first 1087 was pasted in with a black font on a black background, once I saw the error I changed to colour to green in my word Doc. I then went back and changed the black font on the web page to a green font but failed to note that the green was a diff shade.

Or it could have just been because we are so special.

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Thanks, but Maikadilwen did most of the hard work on the member list. The pics are no work at all. When you send in your picture all I do is copy and paste it into my cute web page builder program, one of the best web creation programmes I have seen. (Just a little advertising for Cute web products) I love the Downs and its members so much that it is only right that I give something back.

Now that this project is complete I need a new one, Mr Barrow-Wight did you get my message about creating a monthly Downs newsletter? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

OK, this is disturbing!

When I finished the list and sent it to Alk. our latest member had #6476. I just checked the latest arrival today and found #6562.

Almost 100 new member in only a few days... [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]
