April 03, 2001, 12:34:38 am Yahoo Message Number: 3001Steve, what does "" mean? Ithink that we need some way to decifer these "codes". At least for those of us that aren't "in-the-know." It sure would be easier if folks would just talk in plain words so us olders folk could understand as well as continue to enjoy this great site. Thanks, Mick

Those symbols are generated when you hit , and display the code instead of starting a new line. Hopefully they will get it straightened out again soon.Steve

I am on three different lists here at Yahoo... andappears no where else.I can only surmise that the author ofis writing to us from a very cold place, and his teeth are chattering.Now, that cold place might be Alaska, or California where I am, (because here we have no electricity or heat due to Government mismanagement as influenced by soft money from private industry.)Pardon my soap box, but I'm a cold and angry native Californian who is seriously considering taking his LD 26 and gettin' outa here!
