Actually, Hammy, can you try posting/replying in the Rules and Announcements Board?

Trying to find out if you got the settings right? I guess I can try.

Actually I didn't do anything, but I guess I'll leave it like that, since it's probably good if members can post in that board. Just gotta find a way to put the stickies at the top of the heap now...

Thank you very much Hamster.

You're... welcome?

Why do I all of a sudden feel like I've got the Sword of Damocles hanging over me?

If I knew what that was I could tell you.

wikipedia wrote:: The Damocles of the anecdote was an obsequious courtier in the court of Dionysius II of Syracuse, a fourth century BC tyrant of Syracuse, Italy. Pandering to his king, Damocles exclaimed that, as a great man of power and authority surrounded by magnificence, Dionysius was truly extremely fortunate. Dionysius then offered to switch places with Damocles, so that Damocles could taste that very fortune first hand. Damocles quickly and eagerly accepted the King's proposal. Damocles sat down in the king's throne surrounded by every luxury, but Dionysius arranged that a huge sword should hang above the throne, held at the pommel only by a single hair of a horse's tail. Damocles finally begged the tyrant that he be allowed to depart, because he no longer wanted to be so fortunate.

I like the anecdote but fail to see the relevance.

It isn't relevant at all.

To answer your previous question, yes.
