 Very interesting question.  Unfortunately, I don't know the answer.

I'm not even sure it's the right question.  Had it been me, it would have read, "??"

Yes, but you must proceed at restricted speed for one train length or 500 feet, whichever is longer.

It's been fun.  But it isn't much fun anymore.   Signing off for now.

I was just wondering if it is safe to come back.....

Lotta commotion was going on, so I took off for high cotton for awhile. 

If you really need an explanation (the diner dwellers and most cat owners know exactly what I am saying - it is not terribly complicated.)  ^~^ means I am listening and observing but have nothing to say.  Ergo - ^ is just one cat ear listening in to the conversation from a ways away.

But the guesses were, for the most part, very funny to read!  See, we do still have our sense of humor...

-NOTHING!!! you see, CAPS LOCK does not produce that.  It only caps letters.  You must still hold shift for any symbols!  You lose, GAME OVER!

yeah. If I (or any of us non-clique members) started a thread like this, it'd be gone by now.  And we all know it.

Dear Zug:  I keep having this tussle with you over a clique/diner, whatever.  Maybe my ears are too close, I am missing something here.  Scrooch your chair over next to mine and enlighten me?
