But then again they could just really be very stupid and I am giving them much more credit then they deserve. I do not mind getting old. It beats all the other options that can think of.

        < Defensively > How do you mean ? Nice beaver "One of the Georges," said Psmith, "I forget which, once said that a certain number of hours' sleep a day--I cannot recall for the moment how many--made a man something, which for the time being has slipped my memory."

                  With IE, there is a link [^] button in the toolbar (below the text field), which "linkifies" an URL selected in the Text box. Recently, this is done automatically for links posted. And yes, if you are on other browsers, you are expected to type that in. At least I expect this :cool:

                          Naw, Mozilla users expect everyone else to be able to browse one-handed by clicking their middle mouse button to open links in new tabs. [^] is for plebs stuck with IE...

                              I was a Netscape zealot in the early days, but more than anything, I think that a path forward can only involve standardisation. Perhaps it's true that IE does a bad job in implimenting W3C standards, perhaps other browsers do that better. But in the world where I live, we spend as much time trying to accomodate the 1% of non IE users whose browsers won't render things nicely as we spend building the rest of the app, and that plain sucks.
