Shut down the thread? What are you - the grinch that stole Christmas or something?
To: Dusty Road
Will the Mods please shut this thread down. Why? Perfectly good thread, perhaps better than average.

A person needs POWERS to do special fonts!
You obviously, don't have them.

We could be snooty and ask, “Will using excess and/or incorrect commas eat up more bandwith?”
But, in the name of bandwidth saving, I CHOOSE to not open that can of worms today.
LOL.

Sayyyyy.....how do you get such a big, bold font?I can't really tell you, but I will offer you a bit of advice:
If you experience a big, bold font lasting more than four hours, call your doctor immediately.
To: gimme1ibertee
Pay me, wittle ole me, $5,000,000 and I will grant them to you.
Or.
Do a search for html here on FR and learn LOTS of cool stuff.
If you go to the homepage of FR Fiddlstix, he’s got a bunch of links to the threads. And what I put up was by using a program I downloaded...

Yes, it does use more bandwidth but you can make up the difference by omitting the spaces between your words and don't use paragraph or line breaks.

Your question lacks something. Here: ?
To: Brad's Gramma
You are correct, pics are linked and use the bandwidth of the server hosting them and download bandwidth of the person loading pics (on the thread).

The pics don't use more bandwidth because you can only use HTML links which are hosted on other sites. Pics are a problem to those who do not have a speedy Internet connection.

I have to tell you, Knitting A Conundrum, that I don't waste commas, however, my mother, who used to live in Montana, does.

(Sarah Palin is what Willis was talkin' about!)
To: Dusty Road
I don’t think so, but it clearly will use more electrons, which may not be good for the universe, and could contribute to man-made global warming. I’ll have to consult AlGore on the latter.
And, by the way, I was a student at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign around the time the Internet was being invented by AlGore; curious, I never once saw him at the DCL or other computer-science building. Go figure...

BIG tall letters use band height while short fat letters use more width. And really big letters use up monitor ink fast so try using the smallest possible letters like these:
( ). Or try skipping every other word like this, “hope.. .helped.. .problem. ..time.

Will posting in all capital letters, eat up more bandwidth.No, what eats up the most bandwidth is improper punctuation.
Less comma, more question mark.

Dusty, just relax and don’t take it to seriously. FReepers are having a little fun. Your thread has giving everyone posting and reading a little break from the doom and gloom of the news. Just sit back and enjoy the wonderful wit of your FRiends.
