in order to try this out for myself I need to "right click" first, right? Then copy & paste the subject quoted messages?  And since the "right click" is disabled for now there's really no way for me to give it a try.

Hi!  No, yes, and no.  Out of habit I'm still right clicking to paste, though eventually my brain will catch on, but it's not the only way.  You can still highlight the text that you want to C & P as usual, click Edit at the top of your browser to open the drop-down menu, click Copy (or Cut), then click Paste.

Let's ask the Luddite, techno-phobic computer illiterate, who has to ask her teenager to ¢â‚¬Ëœempty the cache' and her husband to post photos, who still pays her bills with checks that she writes out with a FOUNTAIN pen, to help on the TECHNICAL board.

Actually, what a moderator does is facilitate discussions-- acting as a group leader, keeping topics on track, spotting potential problems-- so sophisticated computer skills aren't necessary.  It's cuz we're administrators that MB and I take on other roles, like managing registrations, helping cousins with their needs, etc., though anyone can easily learn those things too (and most cousins are willing to step up to help, as you did with Cassandra).  But this is probably waaaay more info than you wanted, so I'll shut up now. :-X

For a very brief time (probably a month or so), I actually ran Abe Vigoda's fan club when he was on DS. I seem to recall it was sometime around September of 1970, so I suspect he reappeared on DS after his demise as Ezra. Sheesh, if I'd only known that he'd go on to The Godfather and Barney Miller!

How fun, yendor!  And yes, he played Otis Greene that year.  That role is even briefer than the one as Braithwaite, if you can believe that.

BTW, his Tessio can be seen on Bravo this weekend-- Saturday nite in The Godfather and Sunday nite in Godfather, Part II.

LOL!!  That phrase is positively inspired, Petofi!

Yes!  I enjoyed petofi's list.  And now I'm seeing his avatar in a whole new light. :D

As for Quentin, well, he falls into the category "couldn't look bad if he dressed in manure".  Nuff said!

SPOILER...

Ah yes, though he may never live down the orange horror in 1971 PT...  or his "futuristic" threads spied through Petofi's magical cabinet <snort!> (godawful enough to make you want to stay in your own time).  But the torn shirts in 1897 and navy blue suit in PT more than make up for them. [thumb]

how does everyone get those smiley
faces inserted in their posts???

Hi Annie!

Click Help (at top or bottom of any page) and a separate window will open.
Click Posting
Click Emoticons
A list will come up, and you just type what's next to the smiley you want to use to make it show up in your post.

If you scroll waaaay down to the bottom, you'll see others, and clicking it will bring up more smileys.  Way at the bottom of that page is more, which will bring up several more.

Quote
Just curious and
also the pics by their names too  Like a pic of
Barnbas or Joe !

Click on Profile, also at the top or bottom.  Then look for Personalized picture:, and next to it is a long listing of Dark Shadows and other pictures.  Once you've chosen one, all you have to do is click Change Profile (at the bottom), or if you don't like any of them, just exit your profile.  But if you see one that you recognize from someone else's posts, then can you please not choose it?  And if you have any questions, you can email me and I'll be happy to help.

I would like one of The Q-man!

I'm sure you would, hee hee!!  We don't have any of him yet, but some should be available soon.

The things you mentioned that are in the book (here are the excerpts) were about Dean's life during 1953:

"He had a vital gift for bringing people into their own focus," said Rusty Slocum.  "When you were with Jimmy, he could make you feel like you were the one person in his life."

Slocum was an eighteen-year-old would-be actor who hung around with Dean and was part of his circle.  It was a crowd he later cryptically, or maybe not so cryptically, described as "Jimmy's little girlfriends and boyfriends."
*

DS' Craig Slocum was born in November, 1940, which would've made him 12 or 13 in 1953.  James Dean died in September, 1955, when Craig Slocum was 14.  So I'm sorry to disappoint, but he can't be the person the author was writing about.

Don't worry, Cassandra.  MB was probably tinkering behind the scenes while you were posting.

Yeah, it's MB's fault.  That's the ticket.

Raineypark's quote:
"LASCIATE OGNE SPERANZA, VOI CH'ENTRATE" by Dante

I couldn't resist...

Lasciate ogne speranza = Abandon every (all?) hope
Voi ch'entrate = You who enter

Neat!!!  (Hope I got it right. :))

Yes, it was mentioned by Mr. Curtis at the Paley Festival. I think he said it had something to do with time limitations as to the reason the idea never materialized.

This is what's in my notes from the Paley tribute:

"DC:  he had an idea never tried, never told anyone-- during Christmas holiday - were no ratings, show was booming along - wanted whole group to perform Dickens' 'Christmas Carol'."

That's all that was said about it.
