@Paul Loebig – Paul, the little grey rectangle below the title is a link to a tiff file. If your browser cannot open it, you need to right-click and save the file, then open it in an image viewer. If you have nothing suitable, get Picasa or Irfanview, both of which are free.
Hi Paul, sorry for using a TIFF file. I’ve changed it into a JPG which you should see as usual. Yours, Chris
thank you, Chris, and thanks for the unwanted speech, Ray, but internet browsers don’t go through rigmarole, they just move on to something else …
Sorry Paul,
Since you took the time to complain, I assumed you actually wanted to see the image and was simply trying to help. Clearly you have the attention span of a gnat, if you think three sentences is a speech, but I really don’t think you can speak for everyone.
Ray, your advice was helpful, and thank you for passing it on. Paul, you are right, if I can’t open an image on a website at once, I move on. Retronauts, time-travel is draining, please be understanding with each other when temporal jet lag causes misunderstanding.
Well alright, it’s true that time travel is stressful, but be advised – I have one of these and I know how to use it.
Anyone else see an ad for an image converter here now?! Lol. It’s sad how people devolve into jerks when they get unwarranted advice. It wasn’t in a hateful way, smile, and move on.
Just to be clear, by the way: this is not a joke. There actually is an Anglo-Saxon Wikipedia, linked to from the “other langauges” link of the project front page (not the English language home page.)
There are now 285 Wikipedia languages, and several of them are rather suprising (to me, anyway.) Apart from Anglo-Saxon there are several other dead languages (e.g. Latin, Gothic), constructed languages (e.g. Esperanto, Volapuk, and yes, God help us, Klingon [1]) and rare languages with a literature so small that it is likely that their Wikipedia is now their largest corpus (e.g. Norfuk).

1. After an acrimonious debate the Klingon Wikipedia was officially kicked out of the Wikimedia community but moved to Wikia and still operates there.
