Gentlemen-
I have recently noticed that, when posting my usual drivel, usually the smilies work just fine.....ie, I locate the appropriate smiley that EXACTLY expresses the emotion I am feeling at that particular instant (I'm not a very emotional guy, and my range is decidedly limited) and, due to the wonder and magic of the worldwideinterwebnet, it magically appears in my post, and I can proceed on my blissful way....



....however......there are times when the magic fades....and no matter HOW many times I click on the ginning face, it just sits there grinning at me....I sit there and click and click and mindlessly click (I've heard it said that one definition of insanity is the repetition of the same action with the expectation of different outcomes....whatever)....I've tried gently coaxing the smilie into my desired postiion, I've tried firmly, and with authority, clicking the mouse button....and I have even degenerated into working myself into a frothing tizzie, madly pounding away on the mouse button with a balled up fist and blood veins bulging in my forehead....all to no avail.

My question is simple.....






....do I need a bigger hammer?

-whatever
