Tea? (Part 2)

I can't be bothered to go back to check if you did it at the end of 'The First Tea? Millennium' but are you planning a big celebration when you hit the end of the second? It shouldn't be long now!

(At some point in the future, this thread will probably hit some software endstop and become incapable of expanding any further!)

Colin, could you tell the stumpy legged bumpkin that I'm not speaking to her?

 

[ColinJ]

Going by his latest avatar he is heading rapidly in the opposite direction. In waist size, and probably in gender too!

PS He is ignoring you!

I think that happened already. LotT started it, and at some point it got too big and TheDoctor (I think) restarted it.

I think LotT flounced over it actually.

At some point, it was amalgamated again, perhaps when a new server kicked in?

I have a vague recollection of that. Wasn't it because somebody arbitrarily decided that the thread had run its course and was no longer approved of?

These days, there are several other enormous threads (Post a lie..., The Chain, Three Word Game and so on) so that original decision has obviously been reversed.

I don't go in most of them, but I don't see that threads should be forced to close unless they become more trouble than they are worth in terms of how much moderation is required, or they are just plain nasty.

Half each?

Thirds?

Too late!

I think it was because the zillions of pages of Tea? were slowing down the search gizmo attachmentising thingy.

So a fresh brew start was made for the Tea? thread.

Yes, I don't think it was on a personal whim, there was a tech reason for it.

 

[Speicher]

I thought it was very sad that Lord of the Teapot was so upset about the spilt Tea split Tea, and then he left the forum.

I think you are right, Arch.

The Forum now has 19 million quadrillion thingummybits on Cloud 92, I think.

 

[ColinJ]

Ah - that makes sense, but didn't anybody explain to LotT that it was a technical decision not an editorial one?

I'm sure they did, but he'd taken offence, and maybe didn't want to back down.

Still, Tea goes on...

Today I have been looking at all my photos on the laptop puter. I have successfully learnt how to do a slide show.

I have also put some of the photos the right way up, and may delete some of the very fuzzy blurry ones. I have got Windows live photo viewer, and Windows live photo gallery on the laptop. Are they very similar? At this stage, I will be just straigtening the photos, and possibly cropping them a teensy bit, so I do not yet need anything complicated.
