StopSylvia.com: New Article: What Happened?

Lucian said:
Well, if you really mean it: this is nitpicky, but it's a pet peeve of mine:

It should be "Susan and me," as the pronoun is an object of the verb "help."

Not nitpicky at all! you are correct of course. As a young boy, I mislearned the rule as ALWAYS say "...and I", NEVER "...and me." I relearned it correctly later, bu I still reflexively use "...and I" unless I am very, very careful.

Thanks!

And it's the better of the two. No offense intended. But the one with your Better Half is just wonderful. :)

I was away from the forums for a bit, and rarely visit Community, but belatedly I really would like to offer sincere best wishes to you and RSL's BH.

And may the articles continue. And for that, after reading about Sylvia's 'prediction' about Randi's heart (because of the mention in the latest article), I found the transcript of Larry King (still on cnn.com) and it seems to be a wealth of articles. I imagine you're well aware, but there's a few oddities from working to solve crimes to health advice that might be a good source. I can try and dig through it, if you'd like, but I have a feeling it's among the backlog.

I've been planning an article detailing Randi & Browne's ongoing feud, focusing largely on her claim to have predicted his heart attack. Anything else from that LKL show you feel worth mentioning, please email me about it at RSLancastr@aol.com

iv id="PageMain">

point #2 has been discussed. i am trying to fix it but am havi
ng difficultieson't know why the difference, but i will look into it, thanks.

I had not noticed the font difference. That page uses the same template as most every other page on the site, so I don't know why the difference, but i will look into it, thanks.

Hold down CTRL, and roll the scroll wheel on the mouse up or down, or whatever (depends on your Operating System). That should increase or decrease the font size. You might also try holding CTRL and pressing "-" or "+" to decrease or increase it respectively.

Robert didn't set a fixed font size, because he's not evil.

I don't think rj was complaining that the font was too small, but pointing out that it was smaller than it is on the rest of the site.
 
While it was wonderful to see you reappear on the JREF boards...seeing you on the StopSylvia site brought a little tear to my eye. Fantastic. Can't wait for more StopSylvia news updates. Keep up the great work...and continue getting better and stronger!

You're very kind, 'Scratcher - thanks!
 
The small font size seems to be a direct result of the 'iv id="PageMain">' issue. Somehow, the '<d' is missing at the beginning. Fixing that also seems to fix the font size. I saved a copy of the main page, made the fix, and the page and fonts were as they should be once again. The question is why the '<d' is missing in the first place.
 
Yes, Canuck - the messed up div tag prevents the font assigned to that div from being applied. how did it get messed up? Chances are I screwed it up. The mouse/touchpad on my laptop is screwy, and results in my screwing up text unawares.
 
Ooops, sorry I missed this thread before. The article looks good, Robert. I'll incorporate a footnote to it in that ... um ... bio that I'm writing for you. Wink wink. Nudge Nudge.

Hope to post it this week, just have a couple edits to make.
 
Hi Robert! Hope you're well and getting wellerer!

Thanks for the article, it clearly describes a cataclysmic event for you and yours, kudos for your energy and focus!

My apologies, I found a slight bug with the two JREF links at the end. You have "http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=120378"...I think the "t" should be a "p".

Take it easy though, there's no rush mate!
 
That was great to read and is a perfect prelude for many more future articles.

Good on ya RSL :-)
 
I can only imagine how tough it's been for you (and Susan) but I'm thrilled to see the recovery you've made. I'm seeing the "old" Robert that we know and love re-emerging and it's absolutely wonderful to see.
The article does a great job of describing why the Stop Sylvia site has been inactive as well as what happened to the original site and why. It also puts Sylvia Browne and her "flock" on notice that YOU'RE BACK!

Wanted. Urgent. New website to make Sylvia Browne retire. She has lecture tour dates until October. This is after she announced no more lectures after 2008.
