That said, how ever you want to do it is fine with me.  I'm not usually so rules oriented, but this is helping me to learn the new edition.  If you find it annoying I'll keep my rules oppinions to myself.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
