One advantage of this new board is that you can post many versions of smiles next to a comment. Therefore; if a comment is supposed to be a kidding one; you can put a
and a
next to your comment and that will make it obvious you are kidding to some extent.
And on a serious note; this public apology is a good start and chance to start over; you do appreciate these cards and have fun with them and there is nothing wrong with that. And if you stay with less "noize" and more comments like the estate sale issues; you'll have just as much fun on the board with a lot less drama
