Actually it was Turin, but otherwise spot-on.

Guess I should have checked before posting.

Being a mortal Quotable Quotes Thread, it cannot be admitted to Elvenhome, but I'm sure the mods will find a honourable place for it to sleep the long sleep and not be forgotten, while its descendant governs the fortunes of us all.

There used to be more than one thread - we were up to part 3 when they made the switch to vBulletin at which point the loading time apparently became much less of an issue. But if you (and others?) are having problems with it, maybe it might be worth it...

It doesn't take too long to load for me. Are you on dial-up Rune? That might explain it.

S please.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-09-2006, 11:27 AM

Wow Kath, you realy got me confused there. . . It is Macalaure that has problems loading it, not me. And no I do not have dial-up.

I's ?

Rune, one Central European is as good as the other.

Maybe I exaggerated a little (

), but it does take some second sometimes, even though I'm not on dial-up, too. I just had the idea that the 200th page would be a good time for retirement.

Well, originally it was divided regularly when becoming too long, but 2 years ago the mods merged it again into one long thread.

Guinevere is right, of course.

Thank you; Macalaure!

I am sorry it took so long, but I went to bed right after Guinevere passed the thread to me. The next day I thought it was a dream. . .
