I hope that this time of the year, starting today and ending in three months on the day, with its many different celebrations of the prevalence of good and of the new year, all having a strong emphasis on friendship and good wishes, will also bring good times to the forums in every way.

I send my best wishes to everyone that reads this, banned or not, here at the beginning of this long night, with snow glittering under the new moon.

Well... on the subject of New Year's... several parts of India have their New Year starting around mid-April... give or take a couple of days here and there between the various parts...

The Government and business financial New Year starts on April 1 (April 1 - March 31). Earlier companies could set their own financial years but this was regularised a few years ago (yup for tax purposes naturally!).

In Northern India, the financial years starts with the festival of Divali... traditionally falling sometime between October and November. However, this is now, really symbolic rather than practical. Old account books – largely empty – are closed, and new ones opened... all of which are accompanied by pujas (religious rites).

Sorry, I had somehow missed this one. May all the last ones of you have a most happy New Year.

Thank you very much, Claudio.

By the way, up until 1752 it would still have been 3 days till New Year in Great Britain, except for Scotland where the switch was in 1600.

Now the largest population is four days into the New Year; a good month till the last of the New Years.

Maybe Obama will send a stimulus package to Adobe to help get these forums up to speed. Comcast 100MBS, Quad processors, 32G RAM, and still these run like dial-up. Everything else on the internet runs like greased lightning except for just the few sites that are weighed down with improperly designed formats, like this, that act like something is taking forever to load. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for Obama to help.

He would be better off telling them on TV they had better get their act together or else he is going to replace the All the officers, CEO, and BOD just like he did at GM. And then do it. And to make it painful not allow any severance pay what so ever. That way they will go from making 10 million a year , to zero a year.

On the occasion of my 10,000th post, I would like to express thanks to all the nice people that inhabit these forums, for giving me many years of learning and giving back.

How many years to get 10,000? I've been on about 2003 or maybe before and I have just a little over 2000.

By the way it took three tries and a wait of 5 Minute to get to the reply screen.

I am still doing things as in the days of the fair forums, too, too silly or old to change my ways.

That means opening up the different forums, looking at the thread titles and checking the new/updated/unchanged status of them, and entering many of them; on the other hand, no flooding of emails.

A little less than a month till the New Year of the largest population, and a little more than two months till the last of the New Years.

This thread suddenly jumped up to the second place in the list, although the last posted message is dated January 3. Some secretly deleted message perhaps?

Hello Dorothy, and thanks for the explanation.

I know I'm not the first to say this, and I have probably said it myself before, but I think that leaving some evidence of deleted posts would help both the atmosphere around here, and the time stamps of threads. Replacing the text of each deleted post with a simple "Spam deleted by host", or "Deleted by host" if not spam, or similar, would suffice.
