I’m touched. When you get my bill, go ahead and deduct 5%.

You capitalized my name?  
Make that 3%.

Now you’ve done it. You’ve capitalized his _entire_ name. Nice knowing you, **DrDoom**.  
🙂

Smilies-- Look for the **Forum Rules** at the top of the **Post Reply** page. (It’s also at the bottom of every thread page.) Along the last line, the **Posts** line, the word **Smilies** is a hyperlink. Click it, and you’ll be taken to the page that tells you how to type smilies.
