There has been some backlash against the use of smiley art, so be easy. And long blocks of text that screw up column or page widths have been broken by mods before, so take it easy there too. :(:(:(:(:(:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::(:(:(:(☹ :(:(:(:mad::mad:;););););):mad::mad::(:(☹ :(:(:mad:;););););););););):mad::(☹ :(:mad:;););););););););););):mad:☹ :(:mad:;):mad:;););):mad:;):mad::mad:;);):mad:☹ :mad:;););):mad::mad::mad:;);):mad::mad:;););):mad: :mad:;););););););););););););):mad: :mad:;););););););););););););):mad: :mad:;););););););););););););):mad: :mad:;);):mad:;););););););):mad:;);):mad: :(:mad:;);):mad:;););););):mad:;);):mad:☹ :(:mad:;););):mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:;););):mad:☹ :(:(:mad:;););););););););):mad::(☹ :(:(:(:mad::mad:;););););):mad::mad::(:(☹ :(:(:(:(:(:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::(:(:(:(☹ The irony: ---
