    Ian,

    Well said my son. This has been bugging me for quite some time. I have even tried telling people in my signature, but to no avail.

    I think a change is defiantly in order, surely it cant be that difficult to change the font?

    Iain / Ian's of the world unite. It is time to fight for your rights. They can take our I's, but they can never take our FREEDOM!!
    Iain, thats with an i by the way!

    well.... no matter if john changes the font or not, there is an option in the IE and Netscape to choose a font, so if you pick arial in the IE no matter what john will put, it will automatically change it to arial

    yeah, but surely everybody will not set their font to times new roman or whatever....
    and since they won't everybody will call them La(i)n instead of Ia(i)n which is really (capital eye)a(i)n

    Support is starting to grow and dennis, you are spot on on what you are saying. Maybe we should start a protest like the fuel ones in britain.

    Here's my attempt at an "chr(73)" -less message.

    Someone once wrote a complete novel (Mr Sreeves can't remember the name) where the letter E appeared not once and E happens to be the most used letter of the language (Mark assumes you know the language he refers to!)







    Strewth! That was hard work!

    Cheers Mark.

    Great reply to the thread that can not allow that character to be used anywhere on a forum such as vb-world.net. Hence, from now, the above used character should be abandoned, as long as a remedy has not been found to solve the problem we have.

    Good buddy,

    My eyes have been drawn to the "text you have at the bottom of every post" (the name cannot be spoke).

    The hated letter can be seen! Or are these excluded as my own breaks the law also?

    Sounds as though we talk "Ye Olde" Language when we use no hated letters....

    response to the reply that preceeded the post that comes now
    .
    the text that appears at the bottom of the reply was forgotten about and has not been used ...

    Ohh bugger this, it's getting to hard now, I forgot about my signature at the bottom, but the campain must continue for our lives depend on it.

    No longer must we be content with this tirany that beholds us. No longer must we be victims of this oppression. We should demand our freedom of this harasy, and our requests should be met. Or the wrath of eternal missery shalll be set upon this site like a ranging tempest of distruction. fight now or be subjected to the demons that will bring eternal doom to the world

    Yeesh. Well it took me about half an hour to compose a letter that said "your signature contains an 'I'"

    Should you require a hand calling down hellfire and eternal damnation then just give me a call.

    well, it looks like our protests have failed (See Here), due to the devilish james. Oh well, all protests have to come to an end, and like the brittish fuel protest we have made our point, so we our safe in the knowledge that the population has spoken. If anybody now calls me Lan after this protest, I will personally come round to your computer and remove the letter L from your keyboard and shove it where the sun don't shine

    all the best

    Ian with an i
