    I notice that some of these tags are cut off. Is that the same from the original?

    That's how they are in my master file. At some point they were run through a >program that truncated them to 'standard' tagline length.

    I've been working on going through the file and making sure all of the text >is there, but the file is over 400,000 lines...

    Why not split the effort with crowd-editing? <G> Dole out chunks of the file to the willing public and let them submit the cleaned up sections?

    Are you offering? I could send you a bunch of them if you
    have time to work on them. ;)

    Sure. Send me the first 4,000 to see how that goes.

    Ok, I finally got this file broken into several separate text files, rewrote >my script to randomly pick a page, then randomly pick a line from that file, >and post a list of 25 taglines. These taglines *should* not be cutoff. (at >least they better not be...)

    Also, to make it a little easier to read them, there is also going to be a >blank line in-between each one. That way, if the line of text is longer than >the screen size, the wrapping will make it a bit easier to figure out.

    I hope that made sense, as it's almost 3am... :)

    Does your script do random picks to produce the 20 you post in one message? Looking forward to see the results tomorrow. I hope you didn't lose sleep over this. Long-weekend.. I guess there is room to catch up.
