... or the Mote in God's Eye?

No, no, no. The founders of this site are (in alphabetical order):

alistairconnor -- the Mote engine (data bases, etc)
CalGal -- the user interface
JayAckroyd -- provider of server space at no cost
JJBiener -- inspirator, enthusiast, designer of the logo.

For a brief history check here, and alistair's account of a hectic week a year ago is here..

Our supreme moderator is wabbit who mostly keeps in the background these days. She is the one who can create and delete threads. She also has the final say in any dispute related to the Mote.

I'm back (but not for long - headed to Zurich in a few hours)

Hey, Dusty!

Good to see you're still alive...

Pelle -

Thank you for those links - what an amazing story!

1553. CalGal - 8/27/2000 1:53:42 AM

This is still unofficial, because I haven't linked it in and need to Real Soon Now, but here is our FAQs page.

Dusty

You must tell us about Kilimanjaro and Sereengeti when you get back.


CalGal

I like the FAQ. But I'm surprised at the complexity of ordering at Amazon and WH Smith.

I am only interested a bit of emphasis and the occasional bold statement.

1556. dusty - 8/31/2000 5:44:22 PM

Welcome to the Mote, Rama

1557. PelleNilsson - 8/31/2000 6:02:27 PM

And welcome back, Dusty! Do tell us about Kilimanjaro and Serengeti.

One main item.

1. Another main item.
   
   1. sub-item.
      
   2. another sub-item.
      
      1. sub-sub-item.
         
      2. another sub-sub-item.
         
         1. Yet another main item.
         
         
         I tried to copy Pelle's Message # 1520, as seen on Page Source—and I'm pretty sure I did so accurately—and this, this, is what I get. Hmmm. What's wrong?
         
         Also, is it possible to get (purposely) the indents without any numeration? For lineage in a poem, eg.
         
         It seems this must be leaving toys, but if my [bracket]/ol[close bracket] doesn't do it, I don't know how to put 'em away.

         The ordered lists must be nested. You don't close the main item list until the very end. Same with the sub-item list. You close after you have done (and closed) the sub-sub item list.

   "but if my [bracket]/ol[close bracket] doesn't do it,"
   
   It does, but you had three open "ol"'s so you need three closes.

OK, so I can't count.

Hi everyone,

Been reading but not posting for a long time. let's see if the password works.

I've been here before as Jello and Anomie of sorts....been reading for years.

I'm back in the Pacific time zone having lived in England for several years, so maybe I can sustain some kind of banter...or nonsense in my case.

So.....let's see if this posts.. Hi Jen! Cheers, Mate.

1565. anomieme - 9/2/2000 10:57:36 AM

Okay it worked....

BTW, no one ever told me where to send the money to keep this place running. I'm glad to contribute. You'll never know the endless hours I survived reading here.

Is there an address or account to send to?

1566. anomieme - 9/2/2000 10:59:21 AM

There was a question about "toys". I don't know what that refers to. Any help?

1567. CalGal - 9/2/2000 10:59:40 AM

Hi, and welcome back!

You can email JJ about funds--jjbiener@yahoo.com
