6 "is it harmful to ones health to have snark block?"

Absolutely! There are two equally-effective treatments:
1. Go to the bookstore, get yourself a copy of "Chicken Soup for the Rantburg Soul", boil it in some chicken broth, and chew on it, or...
2. Stalk Zenster and scream "genocide" every time he regurgitates his "kill-them-all" spew.

I advocate #2 since the book is hard to find and Zenster's sputtering response is always satisfying.

7 Hmmm. Something seems to be wrong with the Preview function: it's putting everything into a single paragraph and ignoring line breaks.

This should appear on a separate line, with a blank line separating it from the above paragraph.

But preview puts it all into one block...

Nope. Paragraph separation in Preview is still titzup...

Okay. I've switched them.
Keep in mind that the rich text version adds an unwanted carriage return that I can't seem to persuade to leave and that preview doesn't work.
On the other hand, it alsø gives you the opportunity tô turn the Burg into the most hideous site on the worldwide web by injudicious overuse of formatting.

27 Hmm, this will be interesting. A suggestion: lock-out background colors that belong to the mods (and colors that are close to mod colors). That way if you see pink salmon, you know it's me, etc.

Also, strike-through isn't an included option yet.

But this is working on a Mac and Opera.
