Yeah, I wish there were an "s" option along with the b, i, and u option when you post.	Sky Jewels	Feb 2023	#4
I don't know how you use strikethroughs but they can be funny but wicked.	Irish_Dem	Feb 2023	#5
Maybe so.	Sky Jewels	Feb 2023	#6
Yes that is how people do it, humorous, ironic, or a jab.	Irish_Dem	Feb 2023	#7
