no idea how these clever computer types are making text float and move and what-not...

I'm afraid it was a bit of sarcasm in the face of all this technical wizardry and general cleverness; however, after seeing the obvious sincerity of your reply I now feel deeply ashamed of my churlish flippancy.


I'm putting myself on the naughty step. It's the only language I understand.

Thanks for the warning HAL

Because text within a marquee is not always visible, it violates the basic nature of web pages, which are eminently skimmable Users typically glance over a page and decide what, if anything, to read (using headlines, bold text, bullets, etc.), but marquees, like the, hide text at certain points, meaning at any given time, scanning the page may fail (or take longer).Links within marquees are notoriously difficult to click, and users only get one chance every time it scrolls past. This can easily frustrate users.

that'll learn me for looking when tired and failing to spot the subtler elements of piss-taking. Something that your (now that I look, extremely familiar) tone should have alerted me to... will vow not to try to be helpful unless well rested and certain that it is what is required ;-)

    • RSPCA advice on keeping dogs safe in the heat:  'Dogs die on hot walks Dogs are 10 times more likely to suffer heat-related illnesses from exercising in hot weather than from overheating in cars. Learn how to keep dogs safe and help us raise awareness of this deadly problem.' https://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/pets/dogs/health/hotwalks?utm_source=Campaigns_Hotwalks_10072025&utm_medium=email&utm_content=button1&utm_campaign=Campaigns_Hotwalks_10072025&campaigncode=25STNFDIGVXA1
    • I didn't say anything was "a fact". I said it was "hardly likely" 🙄 Do you seriously think someone would go out of their way to harm or kill an unusual animal? Even assuming they ever actually saw it? And then you deleted your post. Did you not want people to see what you had said?
    • If people were diligent about not leaving food items out where it is accessible, then we wouldn't have as big a fox problem. Foxes raid trash bins for food and leave rubbish strewn on the pavement.  Other European cities have strict rules on disposal of edibles and they dont have a fox problem
    • You keep insisting that you're "just stating facts", but so far, most of what you've shared isn't fact - it's just your personal opinion, framed with hostility.  Foxes aren't classified as "vermin" in the UK. They're wild animals protected under the Animal Welfare Act & the Wildlife & Countryside Act . & Yes, they do play a vital role in controlling rodent population. The more you double down on insults & misinformation, the more you discredit your own argument. It's possible to be fed up & still informed. Take the information provided to you & do something about it. BTW culling doesn't even work.
