- Hi Leonard,
- observing your message I can't find the smiley it deserves. So as
- to find out whether it was already missing from what you sent out
- or whether it was swallowed by my news-reader, I could like to conduct
- an experiment and ask you to re-submit your message, this time definitely
- including the smiley and an explicit assertion to this end.
-
- Here is mine :-)
