NOTES ABOUT USENET JARGON If you are not familiar with USENET, some symbols in the text may be unfamiliar to you. Here is a brief explanation. Any line beginning with a '>' is a quote from another person. A number of these articles were written in response to other peoples' articles, and the other person's text will always be preceded by a '>'. If there are two such symbols ('>>' for example), this means that the quoted person is quoting YET ANOTHER person, and so on. The symbols :-) ;-) 8-) and so on... are smiley faces (tilt your head to the left and you will see the eyes, nose, and mouth). They indicate the presence of humor. Similarly, :-( is a frowning face, indicating sadness or a thumbtack in the butt. Finally, certain abbreviations may be new to you: BTW By The Way FYI For Your Information IMHO In My Humble Opinion ROTFL Roll On The Floor Laughing!
