Wow - I didn't think of that. I suppose now that you are doing more of a corporate/management role than a technical one, you are additionally sensitive and alert to possible legal problems.

It's OK. Sean held me back and gave me a talking to. I've been doing deep, calm breathing.
And maybe some code...

Or you just google for his real name, which everybody and their dog knows, and you will find his address, telephone number and a streetview-picture of his mom's house within less then ten seconds.

Ten seconds? Come on... At least a minute or so.

That's what you'd think. But it's astonishing how there are so many people who spend so much effort and time in engaging him in conversation

If that's the case, I think we need more stringent controls on access from left field. Maybe a black hole...

I didn't mean you. But the Back Room forum is primarily used as a place where a bunch of CPians engage him in absolutely ridiculous debates.

He's like the comic relief for CP... Like a circus clown or a really bad mime. Come at him from that angle, and he's more funny than annoying

I gather lakequincy is related to CP, so I'm not screaming. If this is an ad hosted in the wrong place by mistake, please move it. If, however, this is the way of the future, then we need to think a bit harder about how it all should work.

The Code Project aquired Lake Quincy last year and we've just (ie yesterday!) moved all our advertising over to Lake Quincy so that Steve Smith can do what he does best, and CodeProject can do what we do best.
We'll work on getting this sorted.

Chris, it's NoScript that detected the potential Xss attempt

I read "noscript" in his message as a <NOSCRIPT> tag.
I'm having what's technically known as a "shocker" today
My defence is it's been a big week. A really big week adding these new bugs. They don't just happen by themselves!

Until I read your reply below, I thought this was a little self-deprecating humor.
EDIT: Well, your reply below the message of yours I was replying to, but above this reply.

When I go to the C# forum, I see a breadcrumb control that looks like this:
Home > Forums > C#
Some forums, like Coding Horrors, are missing this breadcrumb control. Would be neat if they all had a breadcrumb control.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes it is inconsistent. However I doubt the breadcrumb thingy is useful at all in the forums; it basically allows you:
- to get home (click Bob for that)
- to get the forum list (it is in the left pane already)
- to see where you are (the title tells you that)
So I see it as a waste of real-estate.
