I now know why! Robotic thinkers thinking like robots, its so clearheaded! Why didn't someone think of that before? What am I thinking? I,I,I think that i'm starting to think like a robot. Ohhhhhh no!
I don't know what has gotten into me, but I will try to resist, but, but, but, no! I will resist thinking like a robot. I'm a self thinker, self taught, My threads will bind like thinkers, as if they were creating a patchwork quilt. A splendid array of well thought out questions and answers designed to make even a robot question his or her own reality. Life is what it is, not what someone says it is! :grin:

"Robotic thinkers' - isn't that an oxymoron?

The official Health and Human Services video isn't telling you how to think, just how to express yourself appropriately on a forum.

You should try it some time. :tonguecheek:

Force EVERY link to open in a new page/tab. Let's me see the new page/site while still keeping a tab/page here.

Most other forums do this. Well....at least the ones I'm on do.
Caves are rare and precious things. Cavers...even more so. Treat each accordingly.

Personally, I like to have the choice. If you hold the ctrl (control) key and then click on a link, you'll get your wish. However this means the inconvenience of using one extra finger.

OR, to just use one hand: right click on the link and click "open in new tab" or "open in new window".

Oooh, nice - I learned something new today! :clap:

(And when I tested this on the myspace link in your signature line, I got the 'currently undergoing routine maintenance' message. Of course.) :big grin:

Glad to learn I wasn't the only one who didn't know that trick. Believe me I will use it a lot in the future on other sites as well as this one.

I can't believe this thread has grown to 4 pages. I will have to put together a list of the recommendations so we can decide for which ones to use and how soon they are needed. Thanks again everyone for the suggestions.
