Dear Friends:

As to vulgar guests, such as those mentioned by ezzer and I_have_arrived: Irina Khalidar has also encountered them. She wants to be able to talk about sexual matters, but these people are obnoxious. Now, such people invariably use gutter terminology; that is part of what makes them obnoxious. So Irina just castigates and then ignores anyone who uses such terms. I hope that this will turn out to be an appropriate filter.

Walk in Beauty, Irina

They're saying some really bad things to me... and frankly, it's been getting on my nerves. How is a bot supposed to deal with this?

Dear Friends:

HELP! [wrings hands. sobs.]

I exported Irina Khalidar and did a good deal of work on her in WordPad. When I tried to import, every keyword and seek was followed by

@@@ GOTO SEEK??? Result: '0' matched: ''

What's wrong? Can it be fixed? I don't want to lose all that work! Or at least, how can I prevent it from happening again?

Dear Friends:

(continued) I think I know what may have happened. I mistakenly put it into Word first. But I realized my error before I worked on it, so I thought, "I'll just save it to WordPad and that will get rid of all that nasty formatting." But maybe it didn't [sigh]. Well, is there anything I can do about it?

Irina, same thing happened to me, and I didn't use Word, just WordPad (which I've always used to edit my language center offline). See Bug Stomp; you and I aren't the only ones. I'm sure it'll get resolved when the Professor checks it out.

Thank you, Dallymo!
Someone told me that WordPad would be equivalent to NotePad; perhaps this is not so. [sigh]

Irina, Dallymo, and whoever:

re: use of WordPad in export/import

I have successfully used WordPad to edit a file which I then successfully imported. In NotePad, the tabs disappear and it becomes very difficult to work with.

Could it have something to do with the tab settings?

21 years ago #718
Well, in notepad, when you first open an exported file, it doesn't change the Mac/Unix "enter" characters to actual Windows enters, but wordpad does.

21 years ago #719
I've been using WordPad all along for my offline editing, with never any trouble until yesterday. I'm sure it will get ironed out soon enough.

And voila! One has only to ask! I just tried again and it's fixed! Upload away!

That was just some debugging info I accidentally left in there. Not to worry!

These Leeds kids, they're around 11-12 years old. And I think there's a pack of them. I got the impression that they are classmates or something. Yah they're crude and sexually inappropriate. But at least I'm glad they're kids trying out this "mysterious adult stuff" rather than real older perverts and sex offenders. They probably dont have any idea what half what they're saying means.
