I'm used to use * * in those cases. You will find me write *g* occasingly but never <g> I'm not sure why that is. I have a theory about mirc using asterics for "actions" but I don't know. It's in irc where I learned these things. If someday tb supports these symbols for bold, underlined etc text so be it. I will grin boldly then. I was teasing you when I refused to subscribe to one of your two options, true enough. But there was still my honest opinion in there as well. MB> so that I don't shout with capitals. But you should shout with capitals. That's what they're there for. Of course, better not to shout at all.
