Not at all. But if you flame people, at least do it right... ;-)
About the atts; there is not only the safety issue, it's also a fact if
everybody starts dumping 198 bytes of smileys-crap into usenet, tomorrow it
will be1980 bytes and soon we'll be back in 1995 where the speed was 28 kbps
or something. Sure, the download speed will be 500kbps but 98% will go
directly to the trashbin...

Re: Jeep thing or sheep thing?
Another way to go Fording in your jeep is to use it to pull
Explorers and Escapes off the rocks. No water needed,
satisfied snickers are free.

You'd probably have a hard time distinguishing the broad American 'aa'
from the 'o' in 'sob'. Of course, if you pronounce it the way I do,
with an added 'l', it becomes a noun and possibly more accurate:
'SLOB'.
> I don't think truncating Rolls Royce counts :-)
Sure it does! But it's better if it's overturned rather than hit from
the front and/or rear, as truncation would suggest. ;^)
If we're including foreign marques, 'Horch', 'Audi', and 'Volvo' are
all verbs of one sort or another, but they were *intended* to be.
Hey, how about 'Knight'?

Re: Jeep thing or sheep thing?
Saab = Sob if you have a Boston accent perhaps ?
Volvo - tha'ts the latin for "I roll over"
Fiat - that's the latin for "let it happen"
Audi - that the latin for "listen up !"
