There should be a term “thread killer”. This would be the very last post that seems to kill the conversation. I find that my posts fall into this category for some reason.

Shit.
There needs to be a tag to disable HTML in order to post non-functioning examples. A WYSIWYG preview would be nice too. What I saw was NOT what I got.

Hope this works. Help with italics, bold, strike-through, blockquote, and link renaming.
The * in the examples below indicate spaces.

For strike-thru

For italics

For bold

Use blockquote to make citations appear in a text box.

To rename a long url for a more tidy link:
*Short Url*

Remove the ’spaces’ and you get:

For ~~strikethru~~

For italics

For bold

Use blockquote to make citations appear in a textbox.

To rename a long url for a more tidy link:
Tidy Url

I don’t know if this
was included amongst the links about the Iranian (soviet) anti-ship cruise missiles, but here is a source that is quite definitive on the subject of Russian Arms. I have included the direct link to the missile in question: SS-N-22 Sunburn / Kh-41 (ASM-MSS) Moskit. The persian gulf will become a very dangerous place for the US Navy if they are engaged with these..

I thought “EPU” was “earlier post update” because that’s what they usually seem to be. Does anyone read all the way through threads this long? Jane?

Back when I used to read The New Republic, it always puzzled me what TRB stood for. Any ideas?

LOL on the Internets has always bothered me, as for old-timers LOL either meant Little Old Lady or Lots of Luck.

Another one is Addy for address. Old data processing types always used Addr for address. Addy sounds like someone on a sit-com.

Don’t get me started on Newbie replacing beginner.
