    Didn't ancient Romans use finger snapping to show their approval of something?

    But aren't there mentions of clapping in the bible, pre Roman times?
    Doesn't this mention the third century BC?

    Didn't "...Jay Fisher, a classics professor at Yale University, date the custom to at least the third century B.C. "You see it at the end of a lot of plays by Plautus and Terence, where they have this word plaudite, which is an imperative [meaning] 'applause,' 'clap.'""?
    Isn't that the same article that mentions finger snapping in the next paragraph?

    Didnt they get rid of that?

    Doesn’t that make as little sense ad removing the time stamps?

    Isn't that one of the most annoying and pointless moves on MFP's part?
    Will you accept my assurances, as an ex-programmer, that there is no advantage performance-wise in removing the time (as well as the day for prior year posts) from the datetime stamp?

    Instead of giving us your assurances, can you just program it to have all the features we’ve been missing all this time, @frankwbrown ?

    Since I recall none of those, does that qualify me as young? Or just a relative newcomer to this thread, having only started about a thousand pages back?

    Doesn’t it bring a smile to my 2015 self hearing you say “only started about a thousand pages back”? 🤩

    Applause...who decided that hitting oneself is a sign of appreciation/ approval?

    And why does the slapping of one’s knee denote a comedic event?

    Well - wasn't this an exercise in tenacity? Would you believe in 22 minutes I found what we were looking for? Alas, doesn't this mean that our friend @Cat0703a may have to record her lovely laughter again?

    Are you telling me you went to the depths of search to find the recording only for us not to be able to hear it? 😒

    Can I help it if the recording is no longer stored on that site? Don't you wish you'd heard the original like I did? Might you have to beg @Cat0703a to re- record her beautiful laughter?

    Is the Zen expression "the sound of one hand clapping" a sign of a nonviolent philosophy?
