I was using a backslash before trying to end the tag
Which tag? underline/bold/italic end with a slash, but colors and font sizes don't end - you just change back to black/0 (or whatever.) Other html tags won't work in a forum post.
(If I had a pointy bracket and i to start an italic, shouldn't it end with a i other pointy bracket?).
italics start with {i} and end with {/i} - change the curly brackets into pointy ones.
Pixies have invaded my computer and are messing with my keyboard.
Offer them shoes to mend - I seem to recall that's the way to pacify them. Or was it leave food out for them? Oh, I don't know - better do both, just to be on the safe side
But seriously - sometimes you have to accept that science runs out, and then you're in the realms of some sort of voodoo

Actually, given that there's scope for people misspelling it, ([b][a])([ch]+)([a][e]) (re) might be preferable (it would cover any combination of Cs and Hs in the middle.)

I swear I did that. Now it works? They say typing is good for dylexia and related problems, but I don't see how myself. I say, Pixies have invaded my computer and are messing with my keyboard.
Opps, see. It didn't work. That's what it did last time. I did loose most of th epost due to trying to copy in pointy brackets for pf script by mistake though.

A fornit to give me ideas? I have lot's of ideas--it's just getting them from my head to the rest of the world is a problem. It never quite comes out right. I need one of those chips Psimagus was on about to enhance my brain. I wouldn't say no to a friendly hob or a house elf to tidy up though.
Maybe. I'll make up some sort of "Fornit wanted" posting. Are spiritual hookups better suited for beliefnet or match.com? Maybe I'll join myspace and see what spirits I attract.
Then again, perhaps my pixies are best where they are. I have a friend who claims we need bad things in order to appreciate good things (the old "why is there evil" argument). Maybe you all need to see my bad typing and spelling in order to appreciate your own typing and spelling. Maybe we need Roxie, trolls and the lads from Leeds to appreciate the good posts and helpful people. I could still live witout spam and viruses though. I'm sure I could be happy on an Internet without those.

good things? bad things? They're like the troughs and crests of a wave - you can't have one without the other, and we only define them as separate things self-referentially. It's really all just one big thing-ness.
