Could you please refrain from attaching fancy emoticons that
add several kilobytes to your post, as this one did? Some
of us read these posts over a dial-up connection, and you're
already posting in an inefficient format. (E.g., the post
to which I'm replying was three times as long as the same
post would have been in plain text.) Thank you.
