Possessive, Milo.

I completely agree. So if you didn't find TEd's string of punies funny, all you had to do was mouse on down a bit.

You're right of course, this is a different medium to speech - to me, it's like a hybrid between speech and the written word. Perhaps to you it's more like writing, I don't know. But personal insults tend to linger in the ether, even more so than in ftf conversations.

And I thankee for the compliment, however backhanded :)
