LOL sometimes 'lots of luck' --used to drive me buggy trying to figure out what they were laughing about in some messages, like 'LOL finding one' (LoL is also 'lords of light' in alt.books.roger-zelazny but that's probably not important here...) also i've seen ** used to indicate italics/bold *this is italics or bold*, and underlines can be shown like this: _this is underlined_, _as_is_this_ & obvious variations. hmm. gotta include ascii art? these are what i saw in the 'standard figlet font' list in colin's message: > _ _ _ _ _ _ _ > (o)_(o) (_)_(_) (_) (_) (_) > / _ \ /o_o\ | | | | | | > | _ | | |_| | | | |__\| | > |_| |_| \_=_/ \|_______| > _____ > |u_|_u\ > | | / / > | | \ \ > |_| |_/ maybe somebody should do a 'critter's' font (or is there one?) spinal tap's n? _ _ (_)_(_) | '_ \ | | | | |_| |_| (seems like the font on the albums more angular...) the signer or the .sig: ____ / /\ \ / / \ \ / / \ \ / / \ \ _______________________ / / ____ \ \|______________________ \ | | / /\ \ | | \ \ | | / / \ \ | | \ \ | |/ / \ \| | \ \ ________ _______| /_ \ |___________________ \ \ | ______|_|_______|__/ | \__|_________________ \ | | | | ( ) | | \ \ | | | | |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | _____________| | ____________/ / | | | | / ______________| / ____________/ | | | | | / / / / / | | | | / / / / | | | | /\ ____ / / / / | | | | _ _|/\|___ \ / / ________/ /__ | | | | | '__| __) | / / |___________ | | | | | | | r^2 / __/ | | | | | | | | |_| |_____| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |_____| | | |_______________________| | |_________| |___________________________| my address: (rot13) cva...@qnegzbhgu.rqh
