Hi Janx! Scroll down past this post to the bottom of the page.

See where, on the left bottom, it says, “Smilies are ON” and “smilies” is in blue? Click on “smilies”–that’s a link that’ll take you directly to the “Smilies Legend” window.

Thanx Duck Duck GOOSE!

I have not posted much here, but have been a fan since  
1982…

I see the groovy posts of others and wanted in on the “game”  
this should make things a bit more lively!

Dear **Janx** ,

Listen to **Duck Duck Goose** , for she knows of what she speaks! If you ever have a goofy question about the goings-on of this board, she’ll have the answer for you! She’s a real friend to the newbie. 😃

And she’s so cool, too! 🆒

And never really sad ☹

Ok, maybe sometimes she gets mad :mad:

Ah, but you can count on her for some eye-rolling! :rolleyes:

I used to post to this BBS system back in Los Angeles  
(Millaways) before it died in 97, and I used to get  
into it over the same subject.

People always thought I was a GIRL!

as far as being a grown up goes, I havent worked  
that out yet

# 😃 //\ \ // \ \ //\ // \ \// \// \//

But I think the potential for ASCII art here is gonna  
be wonderfull…

Lets test it Hmmmmm…

Hmmmmmm, that should be DELETED!

is there a VB command that will preserve  
the formatting of your text so the next time  
I wanna show some slack, the face of “Bob”  
wont be all mushed to one side?

Hell if I know… All I know is don’t be a jerk. 🙂

Sorry I thought you were a girl. I think I… uh… just… you know… assumed… um… oh, fack. Never mind. Sorry!

A long time from now, I’ll have a neat sig like this:

“Two months ago I could even spell Doper. Now I are one!”

Oh, and re: your ASCII art? There are some on here who are freakin’ awesome at it… Like SpiderWoman. They can help ya out!
