I was going to observe how wonderfully trained we all are here we are,
having geekish fun and still adhering slavishly to well-formed HTML (or are
these XML?) tags! Maybe Paul or Geoff will create a pseudo-lexicon of these
- including the arcane rules like that of the </lurk> opening tag.

<wry observation> Actually, on one level I find this quite disturbing! </wry
observation>

Tasha, I've seen that last one without the 'on'....

I often use: <g,d&rlh> which is <grin, duck, and run like hell>

and <BEG> which is <Big Evil Grin>......those two don't require formal
closing tags (they are closers, themselves, actually)

Another favorite is </lurk> <lurk> .... but you have to use it in that
order (backwards) or it doesn't make sense.

And my sister uses <blonde> </blonde> sometimes, even though she's a
redhead.
