    I have not seen anything like that, other than on old posts or posts that have a gazillion comments. Why would anyone bother to read such a blog?

    I've seen a number of such places. I generally just turn and walk back out the door.

    I've been places like that. They want you to register and be a member of their group before you can comment. Ptooey, I say!

    lady red, yep, those kind of subscription type blogs are just way too full of cliques for me.

    Ptooey is right!

    I guess I need to get around more :-)

    Besides a couple sports blogs, I just stay here (our home page on the laptop), check Drudge several times a day and look at DL's front page one a month or so.

    I spend lots of time on rhododendron/plant sites (info only, no registration or comments) and am addicted to Zuma.

    Throw in Amazon and that's my web-life in a nutshell.

    I've seen it quite a few times florrie. Usually if I'm looking for an answer to a question I have, I will just google the question and it often leads to these forum type blogs. They all seems to have that big list of "you can't do that here."

    Oh and leeeeeeeeewy! Can you fix apostrophies showing as &#39 in the comments side bar? I think they did that when we first started and I believe you fixed it???

    Fay - yeah, I noticed the apostrophe's were doing that... funny, I didn't change anything - and I've noticed the phenomenon at some other sites as well... I'm thinking the RSS feed encoding changed slightly... I've been thinking how I want to fix it and clean up the "sidebar markup problem" generally; it'll take a leeetle bit of research, nothing drastic...

    Thanks Lewy, take it easy and enjoy your Christmas. No big deal to get this cleaned up in a hurry.

    Fay is right. Take your time, lewy. We'll wait. And wait. And wait. :)) (you know I'm kidding!)

    Friday night giggles. I've found the perfect boat for TCKT!

    LOL lady red!

    I've done a bit of sailing but I've never owned a boat. I think every boat owner I know would relate to the cartoon - throwing buckets of money at it ...

    So you disguised it as an eggplant - LOL - brilliant! :-)

    M'k... I hacked a quick fix for l'affaire l'apostrophe... I tested in Firefox/Safari/Chrome, which is all the browsers I have access to right now. Hopefully I didn't screw up IE. (You never know).

    The embedded markup (the <i> etc) is a little more involved...

    Looks good Lewy, thank you. I checked it in IE (although I don't think I have the latest version installed) and it looks fine there as well.

    Ahah. Dance's comment uncovered a bug in my fix - this should work better.

    Fascinating, captain.

    The XHTML escape processing is interacting with the RSS/Atom entry description truncation in a way which precludes total elimination of a trailing ampersand. Full parsing of the RSS entry and subsequent tree pruning will be required.
