<G> is a HML (Humor Markup Language) code for a GRIN! Its the short form of
<GRIN> which I prefer. Another example is <VBG> for Very Big Grin. These are
related to emoticons (where a grin would be :) or :> or like that) but are
easier to parse from the source text.

I'm sure that someone will be able to supply a link to the official web site
for all know HML and emoticon codes.

At some point in the future, email address will link to a set of photographs
of the senders face and your mail reader will read (via text-to-speech) the
message while animating the face to move the lips, etc... When this system
sees <G> or <VBG> it will pause and display a shot of the senders mug with a
big toothy grin. It will be referred to as progress. President Bill Gates
will demo it as an integral feature of Outlook 2001 (which all citizens will
be required to use) and the face will wink at an in-opportune moment
resulting in the dismissal/execution of entire divisions of your government.

Finally, when posting a reply to a thread that takes the thread off topic,
please change the subject line topic tag accordingly. For example, I've
changed the [PIC]: to [OT]: in this post.

Thank you for playing. <GRIN>

Andy,

Whats the " <G> " stands for? I'm new to this listing biz and I'm not
familiar with it's lingo.
By the way-  using a PIC to do web serving is rocket science- for me! :-)

Thanks,

Robert
