TBAY Posts and a Yahoo Question

Yeah, I know, I *am* Derannimer, but you know when you go to the group page? You 
know how, for the most recent five posts or so, you can see the first line or so of 
those posts? Well, I wanted my name to appear there, so that hopefully people will 
know that my post actually has an author. Because I keep sending messages, and in 
the "Author" column, it keeps reading "No Author." What in the world is that? Does 
anybody know how to stop it? 

I just got a new computer, and was wondering if it had something to do with that; 
does Yahoo like Macs? Does Yahoo like Safari? 

Help!

Hah! *I'm* even weirder than *that.* When I joined -- maybe a year ago? -- and 
discovered TBAY, I went through the archives searching for TBAY posts, and *then,* 
when I realized that the prefix hadn't always been used, I searched for people's 
*names* -- "Tabouli," for instance, because I knew she was a really early TBAYer -- 
and dug through the archives a couple of years, I guess, back, trying to find TBAY 
posts that *didn't* have the prefix. I figured that if there was a big pre-prefix TBAY 
thread, Tabouli would be in it somewhere. 

I'm still not sure what was going on in Diana's castle.

I do know that Porphyria used to mooch around getting sozzled a lot, and that you all 
played croquet and volleyball with pink flamingos and flying hedgehogs, and that 
you, Cindy, and Elkins, used to spike the hedgehogs at each other's heads. But I'm 
not entirely sure what all Porpyria and Diana and. . . was it Eloise?. . . were up to 
there.




Derannimer, who has heard that some people don't *like* TBAY. Why?
