He didn't miss it, he snipped it -

Both.

without indicating that he'd done so.

When is the last time you explained why you quoted some stuff, but not other
parts ? whistle

I didn't say "explained", I said "indicated". When I snip a chunk, you
will always see "[]" in my post. I grant that I rarely explain _why_
I've done it (I usually attempt not to change the "feeling" of the
quoted post), but I always indicate that I have _done_ some snipping.

But yes, I missed it - and again when I re-checked before I wrote that
reply. What Big al was referring to is probably this: "I find it great for
testing bookmarks to see if they work.". Somehow, even though I described a
bit of VBS doing what he posted there, I fully missed the link (no pun
intended) with this later "verifies the link of every bookmark" remark.

Big al: My apologies. You did say it and I did miss it. Twice. Shame on
me.

Respect from me for that.

For example, one obscure ftp site asked for a username and password, which
FF had remembered, and the site then let me in

So it interfaces with FF itself (and other browsers) (or in FFs case,
accesses the databases directly) to retrieve those stored (and most likely
encrypted, and thus needed to be decrypted) credentials ? Quite a program.

No, I don't think so; in the case of that one, it reported the bookmark
as having a fault, which in practice it didn't. I think it uses its own
browser for the access attempts.

Can you open your mind without it falling out?
