It is intended as a general comment; sorry if it appears I misunderstood you.

D'awwww. For a loooooong time, it was so good to read todays strip, which didnt include huge amounts of drama/misery/sadness, but what actually made me smile.

In my opinion, thats what you call true friendship. Being there for each other in time of need (and maybe occasionally decking someone out, to stop them doing something they would surely regret  :wink:). And NOT rubbing his nose in it, after the fumes had dissolved from Mr Suuure-I-Can-Drink-the-Whole-Bottle's head. Call me a big ol' softy, but DAMN, that was simply heartwarming. And also, damn those evil owls.  :-D  :-D (Yea, i got the same feeling as some forumites here, that Marten knows somethings up, but has the sense to leave it be and trust Faye on this one)

But the darker side in me is wondering, will Marten do something to one of the key players in the whole shenanigans. Pintsize. The evil lil bastard, who didnt start the whole fiasco, but surely was a major contributor. Shall we see some kind of retribution, something like new OS, some help with blogging or maybe some breakfast service duty? Any guesses?

Barely even a script.  In a VirtualHost section of my Apache httpd.conf, I have:

--- Code: ---    RewriteMap AviFile rnd:C:/WebPages/cassland.org/html/images/Avatars/AviList.txt
    RewriteRule /images/QCavi.jpg /images/Avatars/${AviFile:QClist}.jpg
--- End code ---
AviList.txt contains lists of files, one of which is labelled QClist.  The only restriction is that all the files need to be the same type so that Apache can send the right metadata (which is matched to the file type in the request).

You're right, but surely it's better to at least glance at the article before replying about it?

Smoot:
I want to take a second and thank Jeph for clarifying what he doesn't like about the forums, rather than just leaving it be with "These forums!" and a shload of pokemon.

Seriously- before I joined the forums, all I knew about 'em was that he hates them. It's pretty much the first thing a non-fan or new fan hears about when they look into the comic's creator. It said so on the caption under QC Forums. It's referred to in the topquote of the Trope page, last I checked. Pretty much the first thing I saw when I got here was Jeph trolling his own forums.

I kinda got the idea he was slightly upset about something. A little. It was a rather subtle hint, but it got through.
Good to know what it is, instead of just... whatever all that was supposed to do.

Also, I'm kind of old-fashioned, but I believe in authors. When an author says "this is what I meant by that", or "That's not what I intended", I am usually going to take the author's word for it. (Exception: Fahrenheit 451 and Ray Bradbury. ;)). When someone thinks they know the story better than the guy who's actually telling it, I tend to think that other guy should shove off and go tell a story himself if he knows so much. (This is in no way impinging on interpretation of how society influences authors- but when it comes to stories currently being told, I stick to 'listen to/read/watch it first, before picking it to shreds, and assume competence on the creator's part" as a default.

 Anyway, Owls, and Not-Dead Marten. Moving on:

That was about the most just, friend-like thing Faye could've done under the circumstances. I'm not disposed to take "...but I was drunk!" as a pass on things, but from what was depicted, Marten was drinking way outside his weight class, and probably wasn't even aware of what he was saying or doing. (Whether he 'really meant' them or not is up in the air, but my main thing is- I'm with Faye on this one, it was a spectacularly dumb thing to do.)
