Although others may be quite sniffy about it. Multiculturalism at its best. A friend of mine, a famous Portuguese poet(who happens to be gay) thought for years that his favourite Henry James story was "The Best in the Jungle", until someone told him it was "The Beast in the Jungle". I was there when he was corrected and he said: "Oh, what's the difference?!".
P.S. Is it my impression or is there something slightly narcissistic, Louis XVI-like, about checking the "allow comments" box? It's the "allow" that kills me. It sort of sounds like "ok, ok, let the proles in; let them have their say; God knows their lives are miserable enough as it is."

Posted by: kafkaesque on April 30, 2002 04:44 PMA note about posting images:
We encourage users to post images, especially those hilarous pics of monkeys
wearing dresses or programming for Linux. But posting images that reside on someone
else's server is considered by many to be bandwidth theft. Our thoughts
on the matter, along with some solutions to the problem, can be found
here. Thanks.
