you are referring to the so-called jacobite uprising? bonnie charlie
and all that? what particularly attracts you to it? to me this was
a terribly sad period... culloden, in my mind, marks the end (in any
substantive way) of the celtic people in scotland... the end of the
dream or whatever, i suppose... (and the ascension of butchers, like
the duke of cumberland)...
calgacus was the leader of the caledonian (highland) picts, against
julius agricola, circa 84 AD... in a speech before his council, he is
reputed to have uttered this amazing oration:
We, who live on the edge of the earth and who are the last
bulwark of freedom, have been to this day been protected by
our remoteness, and by the mystery of our name. But now the
frontiers of Britain are open, and beyond us there is no people,
nothing other than the seas, the rock and the still more dangerous
Roman, whose usurpation is not to be escaped by self-abasement or
moderation. These plunderers of the earth are now invading the
seas because, having devestated all else, they now have no more
land (to conquer). A wealthy enemy excites their cupidity; a poor
one, their lust for glory- they, whom neither east nor west have
satiated. To thievery, murder, and rapine they endow the lying name
of "government". They create a desolation, and they call it peace."
calgacus, a caledonian prince, obviously was blessed with the celtic gift for rhetoric... just blows me away- a better description of the romans i have never read ("savage", "barbarian". or not)...

Two things to ask.
1. Is there a way to set up a "pager" in UNIX? By that I mean something that stops the screen after "x" lines, and pauses until you tell it to continue; I'm having terrible trouble with long topics, because they just disappear off the top of the screen.
2. Is there anything I need to do to make conferences catch up with linked topics? I thought that the idea of a linked topic was that you only have to read the response once, and it's marked as read in all conferences; this isn't hapening at the moment, so obviously something that I need to fix here or needs fixing there.
That's it!

mike, there are many pager tools for unix. the oldest and easiest to
use is called more. to use it, just pipe your output to it. for
example,
cat longfile.txt | more
to use it on bbs, you need to set up your account to use it while
logged in. to do this, create a file in your home directory
called .cfrc and put the following line into it:
define pager more
i think that is all you have to do!

Ok, this is not so much a suggestion, but some feedback or comment on the structure of the Spring's conferences.
I liked it the sequential structure (everything in a topic after another) quite enough until now, but since the traffic picked up (and you don't have DAYS anymore to be the first to reply on some curious posting), I am not so happy anymore.
What if a posting receives ten, fifteen replies before you get around to read it, and you want to reply to it, too? Everybody else may have already gotten on a different tangent... So, yeah, I guess what I miss is a functionality that would provide multithreading, like creating trees of responses within topics. So you could reply to the original posting, and also reply to any thread you like to follow.
I think this would improve the experience around the Spring, especially in the topics where the discussions are more lively than "huh" and "duh". Under the current load of postings per day, I feel restrained by the sequential structure.
Is there any chance to get this with YAPP?

How do you people feel about this feature? Would it bring a benefit?
I wonder how others feel about this.
(On the other hand, seeing how my personal interest suddenly vanished yesterday - guess the current batch of things happening in Cultures will pretty much pass me by, which is a bit sad; this was the stuff that tempted my question originally -, it may not be necessary to bother at all. Sounds like work, huh? No need to sweat if it may not be rewarded... or needed at all!)
The sequential structure we have now is very fine to get started in a topic - display from 0 on, and you know very fast what's happening. Browsing through a tree is quite the bother, if you are looking at the topic's history.

Alexander, I am reading a lot of these Topics' comments quite a while after they were posted. It IS frustrating to find 20 or 50 messages which have gotten quite far from the original thought on which I wanted to comment. Not all topics work well for this, though. It just might be better to begin the posting with "Re: post 243 - " or some such...or use italics to bring the thought from the previous post. It works well in Drool with the Italics. We have to use it there since so many posts tumble out o
our fingers all day long. Browsing through is a tree is most annoying. I have done it and thereafter avoided those places.

...but I would like two other things:
(A) The "Clear"-button back,
and (B) not all get these cookies Visto wants to place on my machine EVERY TIME I reload a page with the Visto link on it.
Any chance?

If you get your clear button back (and why not just hilight it all and hit the delete button?) we all do. If he will put it at the opposite side of the box from where the submit button is, that is fine with me. Just do not put them side-by-side, please!

Because highlighting some really long crap takes ages, Marcia! And I positivly hate that!

Ok...understand. I am sure when the resident Spring genius gets back he will honor your and my request to reinstate the buttons and to place them at the opposite end of the submission box. Would that be satisfactory?

If you right-click your mouse in the text box and hit the menu option "Select All" then highlighting won't take any time at all - far less time than it takes to recompose a message that you've inadvertently hit Clear on.

There's an iddy-biddy typo on the Conference Index page. The Sex conference states itself as being private and you should email 'sex@spring.com' for access. I'm not sure that headhunter firm Spring will appreciate too many people emailing to ask for access to their sex conference :-)) Just a thought...

Mike, you'd be amazed how many people who email me about how to get in. I tell them. Perhaps it is there as a caveat against underage readers??! It has been there since I first posted in 1997...
