and another question (just curious really) - since most everyone is using
more than 8-bit displays, why use the "safe" 6x6x6?

You mean in the rating colors?  It's actually a smooth scale from 00 to FF --
but since the ratings often come out to 0, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100, these map
fortuitously to 00, 33, 66, 99, CC, and FF (the 6x6x6 safe palette).

Neat accident, huh?  :)

PS.  I just saw that you put in the poster-info-by-cookie in... I love it!
thanks!  D.

You're welcome :) but I honestly haven't the foggiest idea what you're talking
about.

the fact that I can re-set-up my account (/news/post/setup) and have it
automagiclly put my name/email etc when I post through the web
interface...  However, I just had to disable that, at least at home,
since both me and Jenn post from the same computer - so I can't have it
put in default values, unless it's tied into the login cookie.
