View Full Version : [Dixonary] 2345 - CLEPTOBIOSIS Reminder \ Progress

There is still time to send a definition for CLEPTOBIOSIS! As of this
typing, you have just over 11 hours.

So far, i have 11 daffy defs from: (in random order)
Judy Madnick, Chris Carson, Daniel Widdis, Johnny Barrs, Tim Lodge,
Millie Morgan, Efrem Mallach, Dave Cunningham, Guerri Stevens, Dick Weltz,
& Mike Shefler

I am dealing manually (as always) so IF you sent me a definition and your
name isn't on that list, please send it again ASAP.

Just in case Gmail acts up, and doesn't get submission(s) to me, -- *can
someone give me a step-through of checking the TAPSIS deal?*
I've *never *been there, but i think it would be a good idea for me to
check there before i post for votes.

Thanks, everyone!

Keith, messages sent to your private mailbox don't go to tapcis.com or
anywhere else; they go only to you—so you wouldn't find submitted defs
anywhere except your own mailbox.

Anyway, you don't ever need to go there; it's just a mirror. If you want to
check on whether or not you received something sent to the GROUP, go to
GoogleGroups.com, where the messages go before they're distributed.

Dodi speaks truly.

The tapcis forum might be a place to check for _votes_ when the time
comes, and carries the following two advantages over the group:
1. It doesn't require a login.
2. It is smarter about threading by subject line rather than Google
Groups' bad habit of renaming entire threads when a reply changes the
subject.

The other thing that is good on Tapcis Forum is viewing the score charts,
especially for Rolling Scores, which always come up scrmabled and
misaligned after going through the email blender.

Not here! They come through perfectly fine in my e-mail. (I do have to
shrink them to get a coherent printout if I want one, but that's no big deal.)

It's a font issue. The score columns are lined up using spaces and periods. That's generally a bad idea for layout, but is a lowest common denominator that at least works everywhere. If you view them in a monospaced font such as any variety of Courier, they line up perfectly. If your e-mail software's default font is anything else, they don't. Long names need fewer of them than shorter names. Since spaces and periods in fonts with variable spacing tend to be shorter than most letters, long names such as "Cunningham, D." tend to move the numbers to the right. So do long numbers: those with two digits, Ds, and DQs, though only columns to their right are affected. Short names such as "Hart, J." and single-digit numbers tend to move numbers to the left.

If someone with this problem wants to see them the way they're supposed to look, you can change the font your e-mail displays in (if that's practical) or copy the whole table, paste it into a word processor, and change its font there. You may also need to make it smaller, as Dodi wrote, to fit each line onto a single line, or alternatively make the page display area wider by reducing its margins or switching to landscape mode.
