Is it just me, or have the last round of E-Mail notifications been linking several pages back in the thread, and not to the post that generated the notification?

On my e-mail notifications I get an argument ...goto=newpost.

It may be this goto that - in conjunction with vbBulletin's tracking of the last post you read - is causing it to jump to a post higher up the thread that you might think. I also don't know what impact the mode (Linear, Hybrid, Threaded) would have.

You know, I'm beginning to fear poor ol' Erik's gonna need a good twenty minutes of soothing music to calm his nerves when he sees just how far afield I've gone this time...

So Greg, it just occurred to me that your location has a syntactical error in it... I think. In the longitude notation, I think you use W or E rather than + or -. By writing -94..W, I think you are implying +94..E (double negative), which puts you out in China somehwere. As it stands, removing the negative, Google Earth is putting you somewhere in western Missouri (Platte County)... that doesn't seem right either.

Fine. Henceforth thou art Richard. But don't come whining to me when Daniel Craig no longer invites you to "pop down to Mallorca for a long weekend of sand, surf and chicas calientes" and Dancing with the Stars quits calling, asking for your expert handicapping on the upcoming season.

Yup, part of KC is in Platte County, Missouri.

I originally put just: 39° 17' 15" N, 94° 40' 26" W w/o the minus sign. But if you put +94 degrees into mapquest you end up in north western China. So yes, a minus sign does inherently tell one West. I left the "W" just to clarify for anyone who wouldn't know this from the minus sign; but yes, I suppose one could interpret it as a double-negative. I reckon we'd need a cartographer to tell us if one leaves off the "W" when one includes the minus.

I think I may have been right to avoid this thread in the first place. Must work out how to tell my phone to not notify me when I get a reply from any of you guys

I reckon we need a psychoanalyst to judge whether any of you are sane!!!!

That may but I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy. Even better, I'd rather have a free bottle in front of me than a pre-frontal lobotomy.

I'd rather have a nice girl's bottom in front of me but hey, each to their own .

As much as I'd like to respond to this, I'm afraid that things would go downhill faster than the admins could keep up. So I'll just close by saying that I'm a happily married man whose wife just happens to have a very attractive bottom.

Was not meant as a derogatory slur by any means! Just a preference against someone playing about with my, albeit small, brain.
