Dear Mote moderators and uzmakk, and every Motie,

in case you wander here today or later, please go the Mote Matters where you can properly admire the extent of my good will, unselfishness, and unbounded devotion to The Mote. (grin, as our CalGal might say).

Bon jour, Mago!

14424. Magoseph - 4/2/2005 4:05:26 PM

Salut, Wonk, how is everything for you today?

14425. wonkers2 - 4/2/2005 4:10:19 PM

Cold and rainy!

14426. Magoseph - 4/2/2005 4:16:07 PM

Sunny here, high 47 today!

14427. wonkers2 - 4/2/2005 4:24:02 PM

Your weather today will be ours tomorrow.

I never understood why it was considered low wattage to use a ;-) but was considered a sign of intelligence to shun that one and write "grin" after something one meant to be funny. Seems to me if one is cringe-worthy, they both should be.

(I don't mean anything about you using it today, Magos, but rather, when you made mention of the attribution, it reminded me of past feelings and discussions about use of the two....)

14429. wonkers2 - 4/2/2005 7:13:59 PM

I wasn't aware of the silly distinction, either. :-)

14430. judithathome - 4/2/2005 7:32:59 PM

Ha! Well, now you know. ;-)

14431. Magoseph - 4/2/2005 7:47:04 PM

Hey, Cap'n, ;-)!

14432. PelleNilsson - 4/2/2005 7:57:55 PM

I learned early on that :-) = joke and ;-) = sardonic, so I'm permanently confused.

14433. Magoseph - 4/2/2005 8:13:00 PM

Do you know what this one * means, Pelle? ;-)?

14434. jayackroyd - 4/2/2005 8:59:48 PM

You're supposed to use a larger font to make that one clear. IAC, while I'm a fan of TLAs I've never liked emoticons.

14435. PelleNilsson - 4/2/2005 9:07:37 PM

Which one? And what are TLA's?

14436. Magoseph - 4/2/2005 9:24:35 PM

TLA - Three Letter Acronym

Oh, I see--I didn't know that, thank you.

This one, Pelle: *

Good morning, Pelle. Okay, that ends it now-- Jay, you and I are The Three Asterisks.

By the way, the Random link to the Mote isn't there anymore--have you noticed?

14441. wonkers2 - 4/3/2005 1:36:16 PM

Then why don'e we nuke RI's link on the MOTE? Screw PP! Death to PP!
