Locked record

[Fairlight]

Y'all catch dis heeyah?  Jeff Harrison been jivin' 'bout like:
> From whom are you hearing "Yes" ?

> I only hear this from people that are confused - or simply mistaken.
> Just remember it's "lockfile" not "lockrecord" :-)

A while back, JPR kinda poked at me for what he considered excessive or
gratuitous use of smileys on my part.  Since then, I watch my smileys a bit
more carefully.

When I considered my -joke- question back to Ken (I was being entirely
facetious--couldn't resist the straight line), it actually seemed -funnier-
to just deadpan it, rather than include an over-obvious smiley.

-Apparently- a few people didn't recognise obvious satire.  

Now, if a certain poster with the initials D.M. had posted that question
back to Ken, I'd understand some confusion as to whether or not it was
facetiousness or idiocy.  I don't think I've ever demonstrated -that- level
of stupidity or incomprehension, however.  Actually, I'm kind of insulted
that anyone would think I was serious, but whatever...

Damned if you do, damned if you don't...

I hereby introduce a new emoticon.  Please allow me to present the Optional
Smiley:   [ :) ]
