BTW, your use of dashes to represent days of no posts is distracting. It looks like a you are trying to use a separation technique to aid the viewer. Maybe you could improve this. Just plain dots would do better.

Nevermind. That would require you to have the source code and be able to program.

Legalizing crack is not on the conservative agenda.

I disagree. Bozo wants respect.

-- He wants to [in his eyes] 'out-argue' everyone, regardless of tactics. -- If you try to be semi courteous, you play his game, -- & you lose.

The ONLY thing that really enrages him is disdain.
Clowns expect laughs, but they cannot abide our pity & contempt. Try it, and he will go away, -- or better yet, he will lo0se it & get himself banned again.

He's done this before. -- 'Cin', 'cynical', etc, is an old hand at this divisive BS.

Authorities believe such programs reach about 70­80 percent of the country's 25,000 hard­drug users

I am not sure I would trust a source with errors like this!

Bozo has never been banned either.

'Cynical', in his various personas has been banned at least three times, imo.

Having read the sections of the US State Department report that I quoted in post #1271, which country do you think had a worse heroin problem in 1996, Singapore or the Netherlands?

Why do you live in the past when so much has happened since?

Just doing a little sacred cow tipping on a Saturday night.

I want the skipped days to be obvious, yet the visual graphic nature of the pattern still readable at a glance.

But it looks like you are trying to put in a separator, like the start of each week or something.

On one line you use dots to indicate no post and in another you use dashes. Poor human factors engineering.

What the professionals say about your output.

http://www.webstyleguide.com/page/dimensions.html

Most display screens used in academia and business are seventeen to nineteen inches (forty-three to forty-eight centimeters) in size, and most are set to display an 800 x 600-pixel screen. Web page graphics that exceed the width dimension of the most common display screens look amateurish and will inconvenience many readers by forcing them to scroll both horizontally and vertically to see the full page layout. It's bad enough to have to scroll in one (vertical) direction; having to scroll in two directions is intolerable.

The dots indicate no posts in a 15 minute period. The dashes mean no posts at all on that day.

That's why it's posted with the font size=1.

You should then put in the instructions for downloading the proper font inorder to view your output. But of course, you as a professional programmer knew this all along, right?

I don't you're think supposed to be talking about the data patterns, you're supposed to be arguing over minutia and defending your programming abilities.

Well put.. Engaging a cynical bozo on his level of minutia is impossible.

I must have missed that in the instructions. I wonder how many others also missed it.
