A good one I heard once about a writer responding to a critic's unfavourable review:-
"I am sitting here in a small room holding your review in front of me. Very soon it will be behind me."
Not something I might add, I would apply to your article 
! Great stuff!

Thank you!
I'm sure the editors think exactly the same thing when they read some of the submissions (mind you it would be difficult to wipe your bottom with a 17" monitor).
BTW, how did you do the pumpkin thing?

I think somebody is messing with the smilies!
Yep, they are. I just tried previewing a smiling face (colon-minus-rightbracket) and there it is!
Hmmm. Lets see - 
Aha, the winking face has changed too!
And our fish has changed! Sacrilege!
Finally 
the surprised look has changed to a skull! Cool!
This entry is going to look really weird when they change the smilies
back in a few days time!

You forgot to mention that the unhappy face has changed into a ghostie.

I did indeed! Thanks KM.
I wonder if we could get an "absent minded" smilie - it would suit me perfectly!

Most around here would suit a 'square eyes' icon .
