Uh, I was promised I would have 3 minutes to rebut myself.: It appears that perhaps the 3-minute clock on making changes to posts starts on "Preview" rather than "Post." Has this always been the case? I've noticed on occasion that when I hit "Post" I get no opportunity to edit afterwards. (As a side note, I am hitting "Preview" earlier than I used to because I'm still having that problem where the box goes all the way off to the right side of the screen until I hit "Preview," and then it repairs itself.)

MLB is holding a Hometown Hero ballot for each franchise.: The press release lists all of MLB's selected candidates. Thought we could post our thoughts here on who we would pick, and who were the most glaring omissions from the ballot.

Question: when you post a FPP, is there an implied responsibility to moderate the thread?: This is in no way a pointed question, just a curiosity. It isn't implicitly stated anywhere that I recall, and I don't see that duty taken on all that often, but I've seen nods to the individual who posted and some comments that may or may not have implied a greater responsibility on the part of the poster. And I was just wondering.

Everyone hates me because I Mac...: Comment, then a question. As a Mac-user, I have found a strange issue with Spo-Fi when I use Safari -- the Bold/Italic/Link buttons just never appear when I am posting. The work-around has been to use Firefox instead -- they do appear there -- but I much prefer Safari overall as a browser, so if there's anything that can be done, that would be super. (This issue has existed since I joined in December, so it is not related to any recent Spo-Fi changes.) Second, I don't seem to be able to post pics/tables/etc. like other fancy posters -- is this a Mac thing, an "I don't know HTML" thing, a "You must be liked this much for special features" thing, or what? Hey, also, on review, I can't bold or link or anything in the Locker Room... even with Firefox.
