From the how-to:

t - (lowercase "t" followed by a space at the start of a line) creates a fake HTML tag around the contents of the line, up to the end of the current line.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

It's in the how-to. They're called "fake html tags". t x-post - Sorry to pile it on, Paul!

I put Lyra Jane's Draft mythology FAQ here. Discuss amongst yourselves.

Because I just posted a completely RTFM question, while having the particular M in question (the how-to page) right in front of me.

If we had micropayments for bandwidth, I'd be about 0.005 $ poorer right now.

should there be an item in the FAQ about how to make pseudo-HTML tags? Specifically the arrows (don't know their names in English)?)

Rebecca and I call them "Sharon" and "Tracey" if that helps.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Jonathan Will Always Be My Hero

You know, some guy is freaking out over in Firefly thread because I refered to Buffy's audience as "six" people.

I'm not trying to cause a ruckus, but if someone's going to take every word that literally, I can't think but what I could ever do to fix save never posting again.

Jeez, the guy thought I actually meant Buffy had an audience of six, as opposed to my simply exaggerating the relative smallness of the ME audience.

Can a Stompey Foot help me out here? Maybe I should quit posting and go back to lurking?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Just signed on. Looks like it's mosly over.

Went back and read that, and, eh, I think people overreacted. On the other hand--and please don't take offense at this, Schmoker--you have a way of phrasing things that pushes buttons. I don't think you MEAN to do it, it just does. I don't want to criticize, and I DO believe there was some oversensitivity there, but I figure it's best to be upfront about it, and hey, if you're aware of it, maybe you can adjust it.
