I noticed that one the first page of a thread there's only 14 posts, then when 15 hits a new page is made. But after a couple of pages it becomes 15 posts instead of 14 to make a new page. I'm just really curious to why that's so? Yeah I have a lot of time on my hands, but it took me like 1 minute to figure that out. So no, it didn't take me very long to whateve.r

I bet the magic fairy knows why!

thanks jamie, but remember the magick faery died. I told you that like a million effing times!

Magic fairies can't die. Thats why they're magic!

Excuse me...Bill H has a name. 

Show some respect.

I actually didn't even make that connection. But it's pretty great anyway!

I didn't tell you how she died. Well she died because everyday a child is told about the existence of Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy. These little gnomes and faery's and leprechauns and magickal creatures die because a child stops believing. So that's how the Magickal Faery died because a child stopped believing. There are many different magickal creatures for all sorts of purposes, some are there for healingpowers, musical therapy, and stuff. Mine was a musical therapy faery.

Now can someone just answer my damn question, please?!

Ps. Jamie, I have your pictureson my computer, I can show ANYONE what you look like.

i can tell you why.
but it would make a computer geek out of you forever,
or
warp your brain up into tiny knots and you'll never post again

beware the ways of wizards ...

I don't care, I wanna know. Without curiosity my brain is just a tool.

your observations about the first page is wrong
you say there are only 14 posts.  NOPE!

there is the post that starts the thread, and 14 replies on the first page
only the replies are numbered
14+1=15 posts on the first page, just like every other page

computer geeks would say that the first post has the number 0 (zero)
and we are using 0-based array addressing, instead of 1-based array addresssing

using 0-based makes the code much easier to write,
but blows many programming n00bie's minds
much like your confusion here

[yosmark]

As far as i know all the arrays start in 0.

[lentower]

As far as i know all the arrays start in 0.

depends on which level of abstraction one is dealing with

and that is one of the koans of computing ...

[lentower]

btw, the

'Silly Question About Threads' that started this thread is not silly....
yes, seriously it's really not silly
