("Felicia") Even if you did get Colin to design it. (Isn't that what it says? "Designed by Colin?") It doesn't say anything even vaguely like that. Do you honestly think that, if I could get Colin's attention, I'd waste the time by asking him to design a website? Since you just registered at Spring today, I imagine you've done so for the sole purpose of stating your opinion of the site without having to use your real name. *sigh* Everyone is entitled to an opinion.

Hmmmmmm. If this were an intelligent joke, then I should think the reading comprehension skills would have been a bit better. At least cleverness makes the time and annoyance somewhat worthwhile :-( BTW, Terry, I've been meaning to comment on the blissful lack of random italicizing. Thanks.

It has the potential to become *the* website because of the name and the talent assembled here. It's come a long way in a short time! I said that more as a challenge to Team Firth than as a commentary on the site (which at the time didn't really even exist).

(slippage)

Terry...Nan... Point of information ,please. 1. When I invite someone to post on Drool. Which URL do I give.... spring.net and click on Drool...or the spring.net/yapp URL at the top of this page.... 2. When I log in from another computer (library) do I key in this URL"restricted /read/drool etc and will the dialog box appear asking for my password? Maybe this is listed in a tutorial someplace on Drool. Thanks.

Addendum: To previous #1 Would you prefer if I routed people through colinfirth.com . Click on spring Discussion board. Lots of options now :-)

Evelyn, darling. Use this url please. http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/public/browse/drool/all Then they can either log in or sign up after they go to any topic. And I love it when you say you're inviting folks to post! The dialog box will appear asking for your password when you log in from another computer that's lacking your cookie. And you know what the tres cool url is? OK, give up, it's: http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/restricted/fifty Try it! Keep sending those lost guys to babes, babe!

(Terry) And you know what the tres cool url is? OK, give up, it's: http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/restricted/fifty Try it! This is cool? OK,..... if you say so, boss. Thanks for all the other directions.I

ARAMI: And which asylum are you posting from, Felicia? Ah, would that there were a sure asylum, Arami. Forgive my abrupt arrival among you, but after a recent web search I did wonder who had had the, shall we say, enterprise, to turn a man's name into a commercial domain name. Perhaps you shouldn't link your page to your conference? In case others may wonder too and want to express their opinions? MOI: Even if you did get Colin to design it. (Isn't that what it says? "Designed by Colin?") NAN: It doesn't say anything even vaguely like that. No, really, that isn't what it means? The way "designed by" is so cleverly imposed on his name? And I was so sure. . . . NAN AGAIN: Since you just registered at Spring today, I imagine you've done so for the sole purpose of stating your opinion of the site See above. NAN AGAIN: without having to use your real name. *sigh* Oh, Arami is a real name? And Moon? It helps to know these things. I am Felicia. I did notice, however, that the box for my name when I come here is labeled "pseudonym". CHERYLE: fe-lic-i-ty INF: felicities DEF: 1. an instance or condition of great happiness; bliss. Excellent display of dictionary usage. TERRY: It has the potential to become *the* website because of the name and the talent assembled here. I understood that outside talent actually did the creating? MM Design is a member of Spring? My mistake. I will watch with interest to see what it becomes.

It matters not who does the creating. Or who gets the credit. It's a community effort . . . Team Firth! What a fine group of folks to pour their talents into the project.

(Isn't that what it says? "Designed by Colin?") The way "designed by" is so cleverly imposed on his name? I wonder how this misunderstanding can happen. Felicia is not the first one nor will she be the last one to mistake the domain address. The problem may be that every page looks different depending on your system configuration and software used. Further, someone not knowing us may misinterpret our motivations. So what is it that you see, Felicia, that makes you think we suggest that CF had approved of, let alone contributed to the page, inspite of the disclaimer "This web site is an independent endeavor, and is not connected to Mr. Colin Firth in any way. It is intended as a tribute to an actor we all admire."? Is it the "CF" background pattern? The ".com" in the domain name? (Would it be any different if it were "colinfirth.se" or "colinfirth.net"?) IMO it clearly says on the entry page that it was designed by "MM" who is one of the most devoted and uncommercial Firthfans you can think of, and I bet you know her page with the inimitable style: Mary Murphy's "Colin Firth - An Appreciation Page". Just to clarify: The web space and domain name of colinfirth.com is provided by Spring / Terry. The page is run by the TeamFirth aka 3Deers plus some geeky volunteers. We only use our own collected, snapped and scanned material, or that of friends. Mary was so kind to do the design for us when we were too busy with job/school/private stuff to meet the all-too-close deadline for opening of the page on CF's birthday. I cannot speak for Terry, but for the TeamFirth: this page is an endeavour as uncommercia as any page could be, despite of the ".com" ending. With the issue "commercial" here are some IMO interesting questions raised: To Terry: * To which extend is Spring commercial? Do you make money with it? Or do you intend to? Does it make you rich? Or poor? :-p Terry, perhaps it would be helpful if you could explain your intentions / terms on which you run Spring. If not on this board, perhaps somewhere else. More general considerations inspired by Felicia: * Makes linking to a commercial page the linked page commercial, too? * Is registering a domain.com name commercial in itself even if you run it on a non-commercial basis? * What is commercial on the net? Is putting on a banner to compensate for server cost already commercial? * Would you call my page on AOL commercial, just because AOL makes money with it? I think this could make an interesting discussion.

Renate, deer your post was terrific. Your statements are both accurate and reasonable--sounds very much like me at the beginning of this whole Firth adventure ;-) However, I've had a long week at school, I have piles of work to do and I am incapable of bullshit. So ladies, pardon my unusual lack of diplomacy but... ("Felicia") Forgive my abrupt arrival among you, I could easily forgive the abruptness of your arrival if I felt your intent was something more than just pure provocation. ("Felicia") but after a recent web search I did wonder who had had the, shall we say, enterprise, to turn a man's name into a commercial domain name. That would be Terry. He surprised us one day by stating that he had registered the domain. While it is not something we would have thought to do ourselves, we felt that it would be safest in the hands of Firthfans, as we have no desire to profit at Colin's expense. This has all been explained several times before, as I am sure you are aware. And btw, it is not yet listed on any of the search engines, so you could not have found it that way. ("Felicia") Perhaps you shouldn't link your page to your conference? In case others may wonder too and want to express their opinions? Nowhere on the site does it say to "post your opinions at Spring". In fact, it says to send suggestions or comments via email. Therefore, you are obviously a Firthfan who has heard about the site through the grapevine�and it's galling you. If you have friendly advice or suggestions for the page then, by all means, email them to me. However, if you only wish to enter our circle in order to state your objections (liberally peppered with sarcasm and wearing your "Felicia" mask) then I suggest you find a kind ed spirit and do it in email. Trolls are not welcome here. ("Felicia") No, really, that isn't what it means? The way "designed by" is so cleverly imposed on his name? And I was so sure. . . . LOL! Do you think we had the time to design the page so that it sent an inaccurate subliminal message? Only someone who was searching for something to criticize would have come up with that one. On both my browsers the "designed by" overlaps what is clearly a background. (Nan) without having to use your real name. *sigh* ("Felicia") Oh, Arami is a real name? And Moon? It helps to know these things. They are regular participants here. You are not. They did not register yesterday in order to post without guilt. I am Felicia. Pffft! Now, now...while I may not be the host of this Conference anymore, Terry has left my host privileges intact. Don't make me hunt down your domain. (Terry) It has the potential to become *the* website because of the name and the talent assembled here. ("Felicia") I understood that outside talent actually did the creating? It was a collaborative effort by a group of us, not only those people who participate here. This shows that Firthfans are capable of working together without worrying about whose page is better and who's using what photos. This is about shared resources and community effort. Anyone who thinks otherwise is entirely missing the point of both our site and the web in general. ("Felicia") MM Design is a member of Spring? Aah, so you did see Murph's logo. It's interesting how you remembered that when it suited you. (Terry) It matters not who does the creating. Or who gets the credit. It's a community effort . . . Thank you, Terry! I'm glad you understand us...and the other Firthfans who want to participate in some way. Do you see why I was opposed to this topic and why I've always preferred to keep the site conversations in email? And you thought I was just nuts ;-p (Terry) Team Firth! What a fine group of folks to pour their talents into the project. Felicia's comments have inspired me to break out the Snappy and open up the Photoshop ;-) I daresay it had quite the opposite effect of the one she had intended ;-p (Renate) Further, someone not knowing us may misinterpret our motivations. Indeed. It would be very easy to misinterpret our motives if a person didn't know us. I do not believe this is the case here. I'll leave the questions specifically about Spring to Terry, but in terms of .com being a commercial site the answer is no. True, there was a time when .com was designated for commercial use only. However, the guidelines for registering a domain are not as strict as they once were due to the enormous number of names currently being registered. This also applies to .net. .com tends to be the most popular of the TLDs, but it no longer indicates a commercial site. Now, it's more a matter of the registrant' preference. So there ;-p

Well said, Nan. I couldn't agree more!

Ditto. Boy, I'd sure hate to have Nan hunting down my domain.... And everybody knows the story with .com.

Very well said Nan! I would love to see that inspired Snappy! THANK YOU 3 Deers for your time and dedication. Poor Moon Zappa, tell her it is not a real name!

Hey...let's not waste our time with "food-fights"..... Remember the LA riots when one of the guys said: "Can't we all just get along"..... Let's so something really productive....... like discussing PLAYMAKER on #98.!!!

(Evelyn)like discussing PLAYMAKER on #98.!!! And our movie!

Nan, I agree - very well said. I just love it when you get smokin'... (and I hope school is going well so far :-) Thank you 3 Deers for all your work on the website. Love it!!

It's still not yet linked to the main page because it is still under construction, but take a look: http://www.firth.com/html/arch-mo.htm

Thanks for the preview, Renate (3Deers). I haven't had time to look at everything yet but I can say I like Press Cutting #4 very much. That profile!

I think I should mention that only some of the items are linked yet - basically those with an explanation - will link them successively.

The MOTM archives is v. impressive. Thank you gang. I look forward to the rest of it and more :-))

Evelyn, got your call last night. You can detail what you need in the projects conference. I asked William to meet there also.

Ooh, sounds like we might be getting close. Thank you, Evelyn.

Colinfirth.com is down - HELP!

http://www.colinfirth.com and http://www.firth.com should both be back up now. Blame me. For not being able to pay for this domain till today. Please send any contributions to help pay for these names and the upkeepof the site to: The Spring Rt 2 Box 56r Cedar Creek TX 78612 payable to either the Spring or Paul Terry Walhus Thanks and apologies again.

3.2.99 or should I say 2.3.99. Colinfirth.com is down!

We'll get it back up soon. Mel Riser had to reboot the servers yesterday when he moved them.

After getting Marcia's pictures and chatting last night I went right to Celebrity 1000 to vote for ODB. He came up to over 500 in the last poll but deserves better IMHO

Terry, can we add another user for firth.com? Is that something I should contact Jeff about?

I can't stand it!!! I'm absolutely devastated. I thought this was a hot link to colinfirth.com and never came here till today. NO Wonder I missed CF's Birthday last year when I needed cheering the most! I shall go read all 132 postings and beat my breast all the while over what I have missed. Is there no end to the fascinating things Terry and WER think up for us at Spring?! Thanks guys!

wow...

...amazing!

I had no idea these things were knowable. How much of that is Drool responsible for, I wonder. We get very busy in there from time to time. Thanks, Terry. Most impressive.

Thanks Terry..... Someone should send ODB a print-out of this stuff....it would boost his morale... On the other hand ...send it to Harvey instead.

ODB's Birthday is only one month away...and it's the proverbial 39th (He's not allowed to admit that he's any older than this, you know!) Anybody cooking up plans?

I kinda like it in here. It is his site...and all...your thoughts? Not much happening here so I can fetch all the flowers and tahitian and hawaiian dancers and tell them to be ready..

Hi! Let's try and make this party much better than last year's, and at least as good as mine was at 72 (Wat? Impossible!)

Moon was in charge last year...with Marcia, I think. Of course, we were not at skilled (?) as now in bringing images here or Karen's scanning. Moon brought the Dom Perignon and I brought haggis, which I will do again in celebration of his latest role as Edward Pettigrew!! ( Everybody... pl.look for a pic of haggis for me on the web) BTW, I need to learn and practice copying the location of an image...is that on #41?)

If #41 is the Help topic, go right ahead.

Not a whole lot was done last year...this year shall be different. We shall never be the same after Gi's shower. I am rounding up the hula dancers as I write this...and the flowers...and the jellyfish salad...

Wot!? We're having leftovers? ;-D

Nevah! Fresh pig, fresh ladies (fed the others to the Volcano gods)...or would yo rather I think of something not so Hawaiian for him.....I just may do that...more exotic than here...I know!!!! ....but it is my secret!

Well let me know because I can take some pesto sauce out of the freezer... ;-D

Not for ODB !!! He has never given us left-overs. We should do as well by him as he has for us...at the very least!

Besides, he probably has pasta everyday as a first course, so let's treat him to something else. What do you say to each chosing her favourite national dishes?

That would be great, but Karen thinks that means I cannot have another Luau complete with fresh food and more dazzling ladies - because others have had a luau. Don't quite know how to handle this little problem!

(Gi)Re: Firthday Party What do you say to each chosing her favourite national dishes? That's a super idea...and since the US is so big..how about regional dishes? **** (Marcia)Karen thinks that means I cannot have another Luau complete with fresh food and more dazzling ladies - because others have had a luau Nah! You wanna' have a luau...go ahead!!After all that's your regional schtick. Mine is a western barbecue...(gag, gag).Rather have a luau :-)

You're on! But no more Jellyfish salad. I am off to find some more exotic pupus to get our tastebuds in working order. It is never to early to post food for thought! (I was going to take him to Antartica via sled-dog team and feed him muktuk!)

I am re-reading the last few posts... So, everyone is invited and encouraged to being her own national/regional dish...right? So, it's an International Theme....because he belongs to the world...right? You know me...I'm a mega-organizer...like to get the ground rules down- pat...so there are no misconceptions. *** Any other ideas out there?? I'm off to practice on #61

but Karen thinks that means I cannot have another Luau No!! All I meant was no leftovers. ;-D Regional food for Chicago: pizza, hot dogs and BBQ ribs! The holy trinity of Chicago food. Or we could have fried chicken...I could pick up some KFC. ;-D

Karen, if I have to supervise half-naked men who are going to be digging my imu, the least you could do is bring me some popcorn chicken with the sweet-sour sauce, please. This is very hungry work!

sadly having missed the lovely shower for dear Gi, I am a bit of a novice at this , is 161 where it's at for technical help for thickies like me? I think it's a great idea especially as some of us will actually be seeing him during his 39th year!!! (sorry Marcia, I won't go on about it). I am going to bring something from Bath, add an Austenesque feel to the festivities.

61 is our Help for Droolies topic. People have been using it to practice posting pictures or anything else. Something from Bath would be very nice indeed! ;-D

Right, now I've gotten myself in trouble... How am I going to find pics of my favourite Portuguese dishes and pastry? ;-) Like Marcia does, I guess: hunt and dig and travel until I find them! :-)

It is the only way I know of finding goodies. Not so secret way to get quick pictures is to use altavista and have it do a picture search. I got Evelyn's dynamite Tiara that way. (Did not know about it for Gi's shower...)p

Are the native didhes to be state goodies, such as Florida strawberries. Alaskan salmon, Idaho potatoes, SD watermellon, Kentucky mint julep, Minnesota walleye. Since I have lived in all these states, which one is the best.

I think you should bring them all, Lucie. They sound delectible.

I declare the bazaar open! Countdown for the 10th!

Midnight approaching....... I think I can drop this here.....

Happy Birthday Colin The cakes are made and iced, the meat pies are in the oven warming, the tomato sauce (read ketchup if you're American) bottle is full, the beer is as cold as it can get without freezing, the champagne is chilled and the glasses sparking. Here we go; party, party, party (Aussie style).

I'm just going to drop this off now, but we'll open it later... ;-D

'Tis past midnight in Portugal and England.So maybe I can say it: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, COLIN!

That little figure is mesmerizing, Gi. I can't keep my eyes off it. Can't wait to see what's in the boxes.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLIN....FROM THE GANG AT DROOL

And a happy birthday Oz style from me. The shrips are on the barbie, read and cooked. Anne

Lovely ladies!! Can't wait to see what's will have been posted while we in the western hemisphere sleep. (Amy) 39 Better & Better Absolutely!!

Hauoli No Hanau, Colin Firth

Hana hou...

And someone special to bestow it upon you...

ODB relaxing in the tradewinds as he awaits the evening's festivities...

As ever, the images from the Aloha State make you want to hop on a plane. But in the meantime, I found another bestower of leis: The Lei Lady ;-D

I don't have a scanner to send any lovely images, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLIN

Happy Birthday Colin baby from Danielle Meers and Gail Dunn. The women in your life you haven't met yet.

Lucie, IM me again

Oooo. I can't wait!! Better drop off the package for tomorrow! And add my two cents to the decorations: I hope everyone's plans are in place. Here' wishing Colin a: *****HAPPY BIRTHDAY!*****

Have lots of goodies coming from Chi-cow-go via my Bovine Messenger Service:

A three-wheeled cow? Sevres? What will they think of next....! His ship readies for the evening, lolling in the brilliant sunlight as he snoozes in the shade: The entertainment prepares to board:

Oh yes and a happy birthday from me. I can't do better than that.

As the guests gather and the evening draws near the gods of fair weather and good appetite are requested to join the cruise. Good fellowship is bound to follow! The Gods she is invoking:

The Blissful Firths enjoying the deepening evening sky and each other... The Climax of a lovely evening for the celebrating couple

The tired and happy Firths greet the dawn... HAUOLI NA HANAU, HANA HOU!

Fair weather for Firthday in Engalnd, Portugal and Italy:

Oops! Meant England, of course. Does this look like a Hawaiian beach to you? Wrong! This is in the Algarve, Portugal.

Where Colin can also try his hand at golf while he gets ready for the party:

Happy Birthday, Colin! You are the Star today, and every day!

So sorry, away from home and at someone else's computer, so I can't post the actual present, but it's: A week at a private island resort in Fiji for 10. And a large basket of St. Emilion grapes.

Oh and yes, Happy Birthday. Mine is in 16 days :-)
