1. "D&R" stands for "ducking and running," usually because you expect virtual cabbage to be thrown at you for an obnoxious comment.
2. The Wally smilie (a winky smilie face saying "putz!") was in honor of a long time, prolific poster who died several years ago. There is some controversy as to whether he did actually die or faked his death.
3. Anyone?

Not a noob, but since I rarely peruse the Pit, what is "RO"?

Recreational Outrage. Essentially, it's something that doesn't affect you at all, but you're still really mad about.

so that's how to do it. I once tried everything except 'del' for this
When love breaks up
When the dawn light wakes up
A new life is born
Somehow I have to make this final strikethrough
Now
I wake up
Feel just fine
Your face
Fills my mind
I get religion quick
cos youre looking divine
Honey youre touching something youre touching me
Im under your thumb under your spell cant you see
If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a strikethrough - oh yeah
strikethrough these barriers of pain
strikethrough to the sunshine from the rain
Make my feelings known towards you
Turn my heart inside and out for you now
Somehow I have to make this final strikethrough
Now!
Your smile speaks books to me
I break up
With each and every one of your looks at me
Honey youre starting something deep inside of me
Honey youre sparking something this fire in me
Im outta control
I wanna rush headlong into this ecstacy
If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a strikethrough
If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a strikethrough
Oh yeah
strikethrough strikethrough
If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a strikethrough
If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a strikethrough
strikethrough

You can see the coding in someone's post by clicking post. That's how I learnt the url trick.
I wasn't smart enough to figure it out myself.
