ChiefScott :mad: me, for getting these goofy faces finally, šŸ†’ and to see if my sig is too long. * * * ā€œYossarian-the very sight of the name made him shudder. There were so many esses in it. It just had to be subversive. It was LIKE the word, subversive itself. It was like seditious and insidious too, socialist, suspicious, fascist and Communist.

I donā€™t know about ā€˜best sportā€™ Byz, but I didnā€™t know about the bandwidth deal. I had read some posts about it, but not being the computer literate poster, I didnā€™t really GET what they meant. A smiley face shooting another smiley face is what was referred to about ā€˜stealingā€™ from someplace else. I donā€™t want to do that. However, if it IS stealing, why do they have a place to visit to make more smileys and tell you how to do it?? I like your sig Byz! šŸ˜ƒ * * * ā€œUm, according to who?
