And there's the significant point. An occasional stylistic markup is one thing.

And the format that Boris uses is a lot harder to ignore than one simple three-character emoticon at the end of the post. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
