Hey Qadcop I can’t help it if I am sensitive. You try living this life and being this sensitive. It’s no fun. Anyway isn’t sniping of this sort supposed to be in the Pit? Jeez. (and I read _this thread_ didn’t I? Blimey.)😛 ---

This was meant as light-hearted repartee, not sniping. Besides, once you announced your ambition to take over the world, I must use all resources to thwart your plan. Or if your heart is pure, perhaps I can use said resources to assist you. Mods, does SDMB have a policy on world domination by its posters? May one use SDMB to further world domination plans? repeating, take this as light-hearted repartee, nothing more. Qadgop ---

Qadgop my heart is indeed pure **otherwise the power of the vbcode would have killed me by now, er…possibly** Do we get to fight with lightsabers though? I do hope so! It won’t be a proper world taking-over if there isn’t lightsabers! Although I still have no idea how to post hyperlinks. Hmmmm. _This world conquest lark is more difficult than I thought…_ ---

You can try Qadgop. Just remember who has control of “The Button,” though. Infectious Lass, replacing the curly braces with square brackets in the following: {url=“[http://www.straightdope.com](http://www.straightdope.com)”}Straight Dope{/url} will yield, [Straight Dope](http://www.straightdope.com). ---
