I've been dying to ask for months what "IMHO" means (or was that "IHMO", I can't remember). I've been reading the net for a couple of years now and I'd never seen that before I started. (I did get the scoop on :-), though). Jeeze, do I feel dumb or what? :-) (just for Andrew so he doesn't) Dave Roberts dgr@hpfcla.hp.com

In My Humble Opinion :-)

Here's the original source of "IN My Humble Opinion": Lucy's in the outfield, Charlie Brown is on the mound. The batter hits a high one to the outfield. Lucy says "I've got it! I've got it!" Charlie Brown yells "Don't say you've got it until you're sure you've got it!" Lucy, still watching the ball, responds "In my humble opinion, I think I've got it..." You're welcome.

I believe (. .) is used for irony, or is that a local swedish custom?
