Message: [QUOTE="JavaMan, post: 2970793, member: 5562"] Correct you are! However, there can be a subtle but discernible difference, to me anyway, between using Biff and [USER=5]@Biff[/USER] in a post. I intentionally choose the former so as to connote a public (forum wide, that is) shout out and recognition of your graphic manipulation skills while also proposing a "potential" canvas for you to once again delight the rest of us with your digital artistic acumen. Now, had I chosen to use [USER=5]@Biff[/USER] instead (which I did momentarily consider) it may have been perceived more as an "expectation" and/or a targeted call-out for you to act. Further, the inclusion of the "@" would have informed all readers that you "had been served" with this expectation. This is not what I wanted to imply. A subtle difference? Perhaps. Just a nuance? Maybe. When our primary means of communication is the written word though, the "nuance" (when used constructively) can provide intrigue and delight. :) And of course, as is usually the case, your "piece" is wonderfully done, very entertaining, and broadly appreciated. Thank you! Now, whom can we strong-arm into delivering said "piece" to Geno, Stewie, and Lou? :cool: :D :rolleyes: [COLOR=rgb(255, 255, 255)].[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
