If I need to show AW emphasis which is seldom enough i use underscores. Well, I think I had noticed that. Nobody, however, ever actually told me to use asterisks. Long before I was so lucky as to encounter you on the lists, I noticed that the people I was coming to respect most did enclose a word in asterisks to indicate emphasis. When I joined these lists, and a short 5 months earlier, some of the Rootsweb lists in 2002, my one experience with mailing lists had been with the International Horn Society's discussion group (musicians who play the French horn). Entirely different preferences and styles prevailed there. AW I realize I'm not coming from where almost everyone else on these AW lists is coming from. looks alien to me.

Do you mean interprets in the text View Folder window a bold or italic font, as the case may be? AW I was teasing you when I refused to subscribe to one of your two AW options, true enough. But there was still my honest opinion in AW there as well. I was so focused on the fact that I wanted to please Roelof and others who complained about colon enclosures, if I could, that I totally lost my sense of humor for the moment. Even though I saw your teasing symbol. But even after your intent was pointed out to me earlier in this thread, I did think you were also making a serious point. I enjoy the Smileys myself. They are a part of The Bat!, and I don't think I should have to give up using them just because others do not prefer them. Mostly I think people will gain the habit of ignoring them in their PTV, whatever the enclosure is. And for PCWSmiley Smileys, that enclosure will be colons. In the same way, when I first began reading these lists, the occasional poster whose style is not to write a capital I, but rather to type i, would really bring me up short. It's still not standard written English. But on the lists my eyes simply breeze right over it and my brain stays focused on the meaning. MB so that I don't shout with capitals. AW But you should shout with capitals. That's what they're there for. In the real world, they're more often used to indicate extreme emphasis. On the lists, they make people think you are yelling--with yelling used in its pejorative sense of attacking. AW Of course, better not to shout at all. Yes. Careful choice of ideas and words and word order to express those ideas is the better course. :) MB (Because one of the few lacks in the MicroEd and its accompanying MB View configurations, is a way to show bold or italic fonts for this MB kind of emphasis.)

So you can RO use the same signs for TB-users and non-TB-users without confusing RO them. But I'll never get used to using :looking daft: instead of RO looking daft YMMV of course. For the default.msl, 9Val has to do the editing, except, of course, what we do as individuals on our own copies of The Bat!

Leif would have to reset the code for it to happen automatically that brackets would be supplied rather than colons in future uploads to the Smileys page. When this discussion took place on tbbeta, the consensus--as near as I could assess it--was that the handles, when objected to, were objected to no matter what type of enclosure was used. If you and Marck and Leif think it is appropriate to continue this thread and get the opinions of subscribers to tbudl, I would very much like to have them. As you know, I enjoy the Smiley images tremendously. Originally, I didn't think I would, nor did I think that I would like Roguemoticons in the headers. As it turned out, they are a great delight to me. This is a powerful technique which 9Val has developed and I'm so glad that he and Leif have done all that they have. So, used sparingly and appropriately, I think the Smileys handles will not be too great a distraction to people with Plain Text View on.
