I don't know what a geek code block is. Clearly I'm not as old sk00l as you. Nonetheless, I'm now gonna have to examine any mail you send me, and carefully check for X-Face headers.

GOD NO I don't know what the geek code is. I wish I still didn't. The bracketed stuff was the only part I DID understand. The worst part is, a while ago I noticed that NetHack players have developed their own code identical to this one, and now I realize that they're even less creative and more geeky than I thought! No, that's not the worst part. Apparently, geeks of all specialties (Perl, xml, etc.) have ripped off this crap. trav (G-)

you will not have to check for X-face headers, cause that's dumb graphics shit that can't be read on a command line. Quite unlike the SUPER COOL geek code, which is all about text.

I haven't a particle of confidence in a man who has no redeeming petty vices. --Mark Twain

The great artists of the world are never Puritans, and seldom respectable. No virtuous man--that is, virtuous in the Y.M.C.A. sense -- has ever painted a picture worth looking at, or written a symphony worth hearing, or a book worth reading.

Convent : a place of retirement for women who wish for leisure to meditate upon the vice of idleness. -Ambrose Beirce

Age : that period of life in which we compound for the vices that we still cherish by reviling those that we have no longer the enterprise to commit.

As far as I'm concerned, I prefer silent vice to ostentatious virtue. --Albert Einstein

Prohibition, pfft. They tried that in the movies and it didn't work. -Homer Simpson

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm -- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves. - T.S. Eliot, 1950.

It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satisfied; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. -C. S. Lewis
