RIP Thomas Dawes

No, not the revolutionary patriot, but you're familiar with his work all the same.

Who knew that the same guy who played on "Red Rubber Ball" was the same one who wrote "Plop, plop, fizz, fizz -- Oh, what a relief it is!?"

I wouldn't have thought so, and it's a shame - "Red Rubber Ball" is one of my favorite songs. It was written by Paul Simon, IIRC.

Would you mind editing your post (using the url="blank" tag around a linking word) to shorten it? It's forcing my screen to scroll.

If you're willing to do so but don't know how, let me know and I'll be happy to do it for you. But I won't touch the post without your express permission. --Bob

Thanks. Now we just need to get ear to follow suit.

The other way I suggested might be slightly preferable, though. Some companies use firewalls that prevent people from following links that go through proxy sites such as Tiny URL. --Bob
