Right, and the timeout is, IIRC, 2 or 3 seconds... way too fast for a big quote, assumed the next page does actually load soon ( for those with a good connection it does).

Yes, Markos had screwed that particular quote up and turned it into the horrible 'The report of my death was an exaggeration' or something... :puke: My quote is the correct one though (allegedly, at least, I'm afraid I wasn't there myself when it was spoken/written  )

I don't know whether to be proud or slightly annoyed that in general I don't have enough time to hit the pause button

It allpies for me too. I need to hit it instantly, or the page leaves.

I'm on 56k, so I have enough time normally to press the button. If not, then the back button is used.
I'll report back on this when I get my ADSL connection, see how much difference that makes.

I can hit the button in 50% of the cases, but the back button never works (the page is no longer valid or something like that)

Wouldn't it be cleaner if the page simply pauses until the forward button is pressed?

Its all well and good, but I have come to ignore those quotes now. Can we turn them off as an option?

Slight error with one of the Markos. I just got:

Then everyone would be complaining that they had to actively keep clicking whenever they posted something. Not a good idea unless there is a setting to turn them off.

The last three quotes I've seen have had the first letter missing ... is this an unfortunate coincidence or a problem with the database?
One of them was the Arthur C. Clarke 'Earth should be called Ocean' quote and I've seen that a couple of times now and I could have sworn the first letter wasn't cropped off before.
Anyone else seen stuff like this?

I've seen this a couple of times as well. The DB seems small anyway - I keep seeing the same quotes.

"I will not allow misjinformation about ACOL"
"Tear, I love you but you do not exist"

He can probably arrange for a PCR if he puts his mind to it.

Just as a random comment, I really liked this cookie:

"Please be so kindly and close the window. It's cold outside!"
Half asleep, Eli murmured,
