Maybe, as usenet is a "purely" text medium and no one can see your (TINY) face /hear your voice (TINY), a smiley would help convey the fact that the post was ironic.
Maybe since the stuff mentioned was so obviously hard degree-level stuff, like you pointed out, this wasn't really necessary...

Didn't you see the special irony smiley at the end? Like this one?

Damn these cheap newsreaders. 🙂 -- This post contains no hidden meanings, no implications and certainly no hidden agendas so it should be taken at face value. The wrong words may be used this is due to my limitations with the English language .

Yeah, sense of humour breakdown this morning. I seem to be taking everything at face value this morning and taking things personally. I should really go back to bed and not come out till I am fit company. Maybe a good long session on the bike will make me feel better. -- This post contains no hidden meanings, no implications and certainly no hidden agendas so it should be taken at face value.

Thanks for this thread. It put a smiley between my keyboard and my chair, if nowhere else.
Also, I've found double wiring to be more reliable for me. With seatstay mounted dynamos, it was always difficult getting a good connection between the dynamo and the frame. Or at least, that's what the multimeter told me. -- Ambrose

I wish.. Yesterday I managed to pull a muscle or have just had it cramp up in my neck/shoulder. It makes typing uncomfortable, lifting anything interesting and even sat up as much as possible it was very painful to ride the bike today, just holding my head up enough to see where I was going, let alone looking over my shoulder.
And that's despite attempts to alleviate it with considerable quantities of natural muscle relaxant last night. At this rate I'll be walking home rather than riding.

Yeah, but I've always been a bit uncertain about him.

in principle he is ok
I'm not so sure
I agree, his position is doubtful.
I disagree. I knew exactly where he was when he got off a speeding ticket on a technicality.

Seriously, no matter how much time and care the poster takes in the writing of the post, the readers scan through it in seconds, taking no care at all. The philistines.
