Sheesh, I bet you guys use that rubbery thing on the end of your pencils, too!

Hey, I resemble that remark! Except mine's one of the big pink parallogram shaped chunks, and my wife, with her professional printing background, actually has an electric one that looks like a small dremel with a pencil-shaped stick of white rubber you insert in the ferrule.

I'd like to step up in Sean's defense. I believe he has his reasons for all of the things he has done recently, e.g. food pics and the buttons. As a teacher, I too have to make unpopular decisions that will inconvenience many but in the end they are good for the whole group. I think Sean has been getting just a wee bit too much flack and, no offense to any here, whining coming his way. I am pretty sure it is getting to where he is very frustrated with all of the negative feedback and constant hammering on anything he does to regulate his board. We all may want our ball back, but if we give too much in the way of problems he might just take his ball and go home. Playful prodding is all well and good, but sometimes it can be like pouring lemon juice in a paper cut. I will now retreat back to the safety of my computer chair.

Huh? windshieldbug gets edit and delete buttons, and we don't?

Perhaps the objective might be achieved if the edit button only exists until the next post is posted, or the next update eMail goes out.

Just a thought.

Is paying for Adobe Acrobat the only way to create PDF files if I'm working with a PC? Are there any free programs out there I can get my hands on?

CutePDF is either free or nominal, and installs as a printer driver so it works with all software that can print. I find the resulting PDF's to be accurate--sometimes more accurate than Acrobat. But they are not always as efficient (the files may be bigger than what is produced by Acrobat). I've never had one fail to open properly with Acrobat Reader.

When I need to edit pre-existing PDF's, I use PDF Editor 2.5 Pro, which is less than half the price of Acrobat.

Thanks Rick,

This is off topic of this thread... but thanks for the suggestion on using 'CutePDF' to write pdf files. I just installed it and it works great!

Maybe Sean could give us back the 'edit' button but keep the 'delete' button hidden. At least then could make correction to typo's or misspellings in our posts.

Just a suggestion.

For whatever it's worth...I vote for the return of the edit button.

Sure, I always preview, but occasional mistakes still creep through...only human!

Thanks for all your work keeping this forum great!

I thought I saw the edit button again the last time I posted?

No it is not there - it must have been a mirage!!!

When you can't go back and retract the words you type in a post, it makes you think twice (or more) before posting. Self policing has never been so easy.

Not to mention no more stealth bumping of threads.

I think it did make a momentary return.

Should be a good spellchecker for firefox but I'm not sure on the details. Maybe somebody who actually knows something about this can give you the real answer.

Eh, I use the Google Toolbar spellchecker on Firefox. Works fine.

Hey Sean -- wholehearted thanks for reinstating the edit button.

Did the edit button really work?
(using this post as a guinea pig...if another edit happens, it works...)
