Notepad and its lack of formatting support is your friend.

I used to do that, but then I thought that just clicking the 'quote' button and looking for what was written in small print was a lot simpler.

I just have notepad open when I read posts now. The little collection of quotes too naughty for size 9 text you get at the end is quite funny.

It's really damned annoying; I now have to have Word open at the same time as I'm browsing the forums. Who started it? Probably me, thinking about it..

or why not just not post with tiny letters-because anyone can just paste it in the address bar anyways??


if a guy did the marzipan thing with me...and he wasn't kidding or joking or laughing when he did it and he said that thing about having the love I need and he was serious about it....I think I would be too embarrassed to like the guy. But I'm the kind of girl who appreciates love as a series of cut-downs and sarcastic romantic comments, very Much Ado About Nothing style. But I'm sure mr. callmecrono's woman was very pleased.

Don't worry if they're more concerned about rhyme conncected with alcohol than romance-that really put a smile on my face. Wonder if it would work twice...

'Over the hills and far away' was also the marching song of the 95th Rifles, as I remember from my stint as a Richard Sharpe fan.
