Yes, but not these circles. It's generally a +1 funny here, unless you've 
never seen it before in which case it's a +3 hilarous or a -5 
bloody-dangerous depending on your temperament and how bright you are. (-:

You do realise that you were only one questionmark away from proving yourself 
certifiably insane, don't you?* Four question-marks looks a bit incredulous 
for such a simple interrogative. I think you meant to type ``in some 
circles...?''

BTW, indenting with spaces instead of the generic greater-than symbol is 
considered crap in some circles. That's not a flame, I mention the point for 
information only. (-:

At least you didn't top-post.

We always do our morning toast with the gel-equipped Mark III and a long 
fork. And never look to see if anyone's in the way.

Actually, it's surprising how touchy some people can be about a simple 
correction. (-:
