Greg, I appreciate the positive thrust of what you're attempting with this thread. It IS better to put effort into building a consensus about principles than to endlessly argue about particulars. I just disagree that any of it is necessary. I think Jason and Randy are right when they say that no mat...

I doubt I would use such a feature. I can't speak for others. If I understand you, it would be similar to the discussion threads attached to individual strips at UserFriendly. At times UF has changed their site design so that when you went into the archives it opened by default into the view that in...

The entire macro group that is already in the table are admittedly off-topic to the main point of the table. (Hmmm, maybe I should separate them out into a separate "Macro, not Micro" table, in preparation for the next inevitable flame war when doofuses around the world rise up to post the brilliant...

I fear my mortality just as much as the next person, but one of my favorite incarnations of the divine, Spider Robinson, reminds us that for humanity to continue, long-long-term, a high percentage of art *must* get forgotten in order for future artists to have room to work. This point from his story...

Thanks to Shweta for posting this. I've been waiting so long for something about the goings on at ComicCon (besides Meighan's snapshots) that I forgot I was waiting.

and, yeah, I want to see Sky's comic, too.

So Buzzard and Ragnar, either of you kind folks want to profile ccnow for inclusion in <a href="http://cmug.com/~john_scott/ic/microtable.html">the micropayment comparison table</a>?

Gulp. I'm a major user of links opening new windows when they take you off to another site from a large page. The main thing that prompts me to use this technique is the size of the page with the link and the number of casual, reference links on that page. If the page points in a million directions,...

In addition to the PayPal, Amazon, and Western Union options Greg listed, my/our <a href="http://cmug.com/~john_scott/ic/microtable.html">comparison table</a> also lists BillPoint and PayDirect in this market. Opportunities abound there for you nice people to chase down additional facts so that the ...

Sean, I don't think you have built a terribly shaky straw man here. Any system that aggregates does indeed depend on certain average volumes from the consumers. The wiggle room around this point is that credit card transactions are not the only style of macro transaction that can serve as the base f...

Thank you, Sean. That is the best, most clearly thought-through, most clearly presented case against the likelihood of a micropayment infrastructure coming into being that I've ever read. You have clearly laid out the challenges, and I agree that they do appear very daunting. I'm not ready to toss i...

But well worth the additional bandwidth. Dangit, Frank, when you make and entrance, you make an entrance! I'm looking forward to this arc very much. Damonk does his 4th-wall interactions so smoothly and with such wit, I'm on pins and needles! I will be quite keen (pun intended) to read what he's got...

Thanks, gang! If not for this thread, I probably would have waited a few months before I got around to renting this flick. Instead, I picked up a copy of the DVD yesterday and watched it last night. My sweet and I enjoyed it. Movie for us?, movie for them? I don't care. I liked it. And when I get ar...

Cool work, Kevin! Thanks for giving it a go, and for sharing the results with us. Too bad it took phone company incompetence to drive you to it.

Better, thanks! I was noticing the same thing SM asked about, but it'd hit me when I had 18 different "zwol.org Forum" windows open on my screen at once. I'd get confused! I like the new art. Looks better than those ungainly black boxes. If this is the kind of service we get, we should let you take ...

..then start the one for RC..

Your wish is my command. See <a href="http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ReinventingComics">this</a>.

I, on the other hand, think of the bulk of the efforts of renamers (in the Internet world at large, not in the comix realm) as so much self-indulgent hoo-ha marketing wank. But maybe my curmudgeonly outlook is only a reflection, in this limited arena, of the fact that in every concern, 90% of stuff ...

This morning when I posted my new start to the requirements thread, the url BBcodes did not parse correctly. I used four links that I'm pretty sure were all submitted in the same way. The parser appeared to recognize the opening tag of the first and third links, and the closing tag of the second and...

So, can I just manipulate the syntax and make up a quote that never appeared here?

Maybe I can... (bwa-ha-ha! The reality manipulation games shall now commence!)

I could also never figure out how to do those nifty quote thingies at ezBoard. Maybe here I'll get the hang of it.

When I received my email confirmation of my registration as a member, the email did not include my password. Well, here, I'll show you what I received: Your account information is as follows: ---------------------------- Username: John2two Password: ---------------------------- Please do not forget ...

As you may have noticed, I could never figure out how to include html, especially links, in my posts at ezBoard. Like <A HREF="http://cmug.com/~john_scott/ic/ICrequirements.html">this one</a> to the current draft of the IC requirements document. So, if you don't mind, I'd like to post a little test ...

The captions for the icons used in the forum twice uses the phrase "more then 15 posts". It should be "than". I know that my proofreading services are not always appreciated. Whenever you have had enough of my pesky nit-picking, tell me to bite my tongue on minor typos. On the other hand, it occasio...
