Firefox will give your cat warts. If you don't have a cat, or don't mind one
with warts, you should be okay.

No need for smilies, it's common knowledge. Top posters also tend to
talk with their mouths full and walk around with their flies unzipped.

You may be more suited to the MS forums.

Without a doubt. Everybody knows that. There can be no question about
it. It goes without saying. It's just plain common sense. The only ones
that use IE any more are timid folk who tend to top post and forget to
remove the price tags from their clothes.

No. I can provide you with spiritual guidance, a sympathetic ear, and a
small clippers to snip those price tags you still have hanging all over
your clothes.
