OK, but what's the deal with the categories?

I'm pretty sure Duncan covered that.

hmm, I guess I didn't see that-- or it's just that I didn't look closely

I'm starting to get the feeling as soon as I turn the computer off there's going to be a new feature here.

That seems unlikely - but even if it's true, so what? Are you opposed to new features? Are you unhappy there's active development going on here? I guess I'm not sure where you're coming from.

I wasn't complaining, just indulging in some hyperbole about how you've got my head on a swivel-- I didn't know you had this much change in you.

Well, this current position allows for avatars without almost any drawbacks of usual avatar placement, like distracting attention or moving the text to a less optimal position.

I find them more distracting like this, I keep looking over to focus on them even when I know what they are.

I'd suggest either getting used to them, or writing a greasemonkey script that hides them, because they're here to stay (and in that location).

I saw that. I was thinking of an official thread. Besides obviously not being that, the first post didn't announce anything, in fact it acted like everyone knew.

Excuse me? My first post very clearly announced the addition of avatars:

Me: It's not often we see change of this magnitude. Not everyday that that a Bungie.Org site moves one step close to the present day internet. Yes, I'm talking about the addition of forum avatars!

I had that typed up, then I looked at the post and changed it, and for some reason I put back like it was or didn't change it more. At some point I missed the last line there (about avatars); I'm sorry.

Um... ice IS heavier than water. Well, some ice, anyway. And some water.
0 degree (celsius) water is denser than pretty much all water above 8 degrees.

I don't like being Mr. Literal, but I'm confused by this comment. Ice is less dense than water (remember, it floats) due to how water molecules arrange themselves when they freeze. One of the few materials that actually expands when it freezes.

Or were you talking about something else?

Hmm. I wasn't thinking it all the way through. I remembered that water is densest at 4 degrees, and found a page that I THOUGHT showed a density curve... and simply drew a line without thinking about what I was saying. :)

As Emily Litella would say... never mind.

Official Announcement: Disregard this post.

I'm sorry, I'm confused. Are we to disregard my post, which you quoted, or all the scary boldness of yours??

We apologize for the fault in the announcement. Those responsible have been sacked.

Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretty nasti...

And who cares if there wan't a 100% official announcement? Are we the kind of community that has a lot of official announcements?

Return to your bunk and await additional orders. Thoughtcrime does not entail death: thoughtcrime is death.

Consider the following propositions: 'DBO says the earth is flat', 'DBO says that ice is heavier than water' -- train yourself in not seeing or not understanding the arguments that contradict them.

Thoughtcrime is good with whipped cream on top.
