    Considering the fluff that makes up most television programs these days, why are you holding the MFP programmers to a different standard?

    What passes for programming these days is a bit of a joke, isn't it?
    Aren't I particularly annoyed, as a retired computer programmer, when I come across what strikes me as mediocre programming at best? Aren't I particularly annoyed by the programmed controllers for signal lights and elevators, having designed controllers for both during my days in college decades ago? Don't I think the world would be a better place if my controllers controlled those mechanized devices? While I am normally a fairly law-abiding citizen, don't I consider traffic lights, in the absence of witnesses, to be merely a suggestion?

    Aren't Frank's questions too complex for me to answer?

    Also (maybe silly question :* ) doesnt this time stamping and hovering thing only tell you when the person posted it in your own (ie the reader's) time?

    So I might see that somebody posted at 8:45 am my time but that doesn't tell me what time it was for them on other side of the world?

    Aren't you right about that, i.e. when times are displayed, they're displayed as your time zone rather than that of the poster? Wouldn't it be even more confusing if the posters time zone was used?

    Since at the moment I'm not exercising much, aren't I making some noise with mfp re: some existing bugs?

    Could someone do me a favor/favour? Could you click on the bell in the upper right corner next to your profile pic, and make a note of what you see in the dropdown pertaining to this discussion?
    Don't I see this message: "There are 775 new comments on discussion: Can you keep it going asking ONLY QUESTIONS?"
    When I click on that link, doesn't it take me to a comment that was posted back in December 2022 on page 4840 (rather than the current page 4893)?

    Didn't I get only 49, but isn't that still odd because I think I was uptodate and it shoulda only listed you?

    Could that possibly be around the time you first found this discussion?

    I'm not sure, but maybe quite possibly?

    IF you don't mind me asking, are you using a computer or a cell phone? Windows, Apple, iPhone, Android,...?

    Did someone say bacon?? 🤤

    @frankwbrown, when I select the bell on my iPhone don’t I just see where I’m mentioned and it takes me right to the mention which most recently happened this morning in the thread?

    There are numerous options under Edit Profile.. Notification Preferences that determine what notifications appear when you click on the bell, right?
    Wouldn't the bug I'm looking at not occur when the notification is about a specific comment, such as one where you are mentioned?
