I had a visit from Bob earlier, and then made good progress in converting some icon designs I produced for AOPL months ago into a vector format so I could smooth and simplify them before re-exporting them as anti-aliased GIFs.
There was a short interruption when my pal Er1c called to ask if I could throw a couple of web pages together for him tomorrow... I said I'll do it, as long as he provides all the required 
to fuel me through the experience. 
I've had a , and I'm longing to assume a horizontal disposition. One more , then I'll program the Digibox to record NYPD Blue while I pass out.

hello
I am sure this does not belong on this thread - but I am a Luddite newbie. I am trying to find out how I can send a cheery note to Natalie or one of the other B.A. Robertson-loving editors of this group.
An otherwise delightful page on this group has a rather glaring factual inaccuracy or typographical error.
Since it pertains to the anniversary of a cultural event that is about to get a lot of media coverage in the UK press - i thought it would be a good idea for the minor error corrected
But as newbie - I could not fathom out how to write to one of the editors...
(If it helps interest the editors - I know B.A. Robertson slightly - when I worked with him about ten million years ago on a project...!)
please advise this Luddite what to do next!
thanks

Hi, bialystock, welcome aboard!
If there's a typo in the Edited Guide, you should post a new thread at A388334 pointing it out...
If it's specifically Natalie you're seeking, her personal space is over at U190181 and you can post your greetings there by clicking the "Discuss this entry" link on her page.
If you need general help on the operation of the Guide, have a root around the <./>dontpanic</.> secrion. 
Good luck, and I'm sure I'll see you around.

many thanks for such a rapid response. I was worried that such a dumb question would not warrant a reply.
I will try in my limited way to follow your directions and navigate my way to getting the info across.
I am a Brit - but I've been living in L.A. long enough for my brain to go quite mushy with the sun and other distractions.
Thanks again...
Hic.
