Title: The Day of the Undead Zombie Threads
Post by: KD1SH on December 20, 2023, 01:03:33 PM
  Just a few minutes ago, I opened up AmFone, using my usual bookmark in Firefox, and the Technical forum was filled—pages and pages—with old threads, starting with 2010 and working back in time; each one flagged as "New". I reloaded the page, and they were all gone—back to the expected recent posts. Did anyone else see this? Was it just me? An undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of undercooked potato? (Apologies to Charles Dickens.)

It must have been the mustard. I had the beef and didn't have the same experience as you.

Colman's English Mustard, appropriately. Potent stuff. Didn't hear any rattling chains, fortunately.

I'll bet it was the mushrooms!

Oh, you'd lose that bet; I'm certified mushroom free. I've never eaten one of those slimy, vomitous, pustulent bits of fungal putrescence in my life. Yuck!

I'll bet it was the mushrooms!

Patrick Stewart did a pretty decent Scrooge, too, back in 1999 as I remember.
