  • Letter dropped quotes

    Hey Mark/Dan, I notice a lot of your new quotes have the first letter chopped off.

    I saw at least 5 of them like that.
    I believe Saddam because his position is backed up by logic and reason...David Floyd
    i'm an ignorant greek...MarkG

    Noticed the same. Plus, there's at least one quote that shows an empty line and one quote that consists of 2, separated by a '%' character on an extra line between the two. I suppose the latter has to be fixed (how ever that works) and the former will be OK two.

      It seems like many of the quotes that start with the word "the" are missing the 't'.

      One quote that I remember needs fixing is the one by a member of the ctp2 team that is saying that the workaround is another screwup or something like that. If I see any more, I will make sure to copy them and paste them here to make it easier on you Markos. Thanks for you work.

        The word Dictators starts with a D as well, and it's not correct in the relevant quote.

        Isn't anyone taking notice of this?

          I just saw a thing like that again myself. But I can imagine hunting down elusive bugs in the quotes isn't on the top of anybody's priority list.

          Perhaps you should farm out the work to a volunteer. Given the interest we've seen there should be some eager candidates.

            I saw them. Probably just improperly formatted quotes.

              Who is the Star Trek geek that not only knows the quotations, but the EPISODE IT WAS SAID IN!?!?

                I think Markos said they came with the quote 'package'.

                  Noticed the same problem.

                  Tuberski - give me some X-Files quotes, and I will also often name you the episode.

                          is there any chance that this is going to be fixed or is just going to be another inside apolyton joke?
