After last month I am no longer a hippy in any sense of the word. All that remains now is being a pacifist...

Why not? I still consider myself a hippy, (I think), but a pacifist too. It is fun to meet a fellow!

Hi Athena,
Well as far as I know a hippy basically says "Let's get along shall we? It's not that hard...". Whereas a pacifist accepts that some people will never be able to get along with other people. Therefor a pacifist roughly says "O.K. I won't start a fight but I sure as h*ll will finish it if you start it".
I know that these definitions are not perfect at all. I just put them up to distinguish between the two.
Greetz,
TM.

Point taken. Non the less my opinion stands.
Oh, while I am talking to you... Seeing as your the towelmaster, can you tell me why the italics, or whatever, won't make a ? I am a SATS member, , but all the answer to this question I got was semivague. Here, have some cheese .

Oh nice, Gouda...
I think that :
1. The towers have more to do than just building smilies.
2. It is much more fun for them to release something new every now and then, then it is to release all kinds of new features at once.
3. They enjoy reading the SATS- and other actioncommittees-forums
Don't worry though, I think it should be there somewhere in the near future... Although they did say that last year

Gouda cheese ? Hmmm, I wonder what that would taste like... I see, that makes much more sense the what I heard in the forum. Did you mean to put towers? Or was that supposed to be towels? Am I totally unaware of something??? Er, probably.

I think you are yes.... The Towers is the nickname for the staff at h2g2. Hence the towers...
Just keep campaigning and the towel-smiley will be launched......eventually...

Er, why towers of all things? I had italics explained to me once, but I forgot the reason. Is it something like that reason which I have forgotten?
