Very useful, thank you. Here's a useful tip for you in return. You
could have linke to
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/163280#164999 instead
of saying "9th post". But you had no way of knowing that. So, here's
the tip: Every blogger should have this bookmarklet in their
favorites.
http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/webdevel.html#named_anchors When
you use that bookmarklet, it makes all the hidden named anchors (which
are what permit the # linking convention) visible. It's very cool.
There are many other great tools there. My FAVORITE is
http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html#remember_password
which I can use to remove the annoy "feature" that my employer, banks,
and brokerage houses use to prevent my browser from prompting to save my
password. It's a real time saver!
