Congratulations!
You will now be required to post a photoshop of yourself having lunch with someone famous and desirable - like Helen Thomas.
Then, in the same post hyperlink a URL using the full-function of HTML.
Then, finally - again within the same post - a notarized copy of both your living will, transferring at least 1/2 of your total assets to FreeRepublic, and the original, long form, of Barack Obama’s birth certificate.
Once the above have been accomplished, you will be absolved of any further n00bie hazing.
You just had to invoke HT, didn’t you. Might as well called up a few vampires and a zombie or two since we are close to halloween. What is about to happen to this thread now falls on you. The poor originator of this thread may be scarred for life.
