Why don't you pay for it then, and leave me out of it.

(And trust me, it's almost certain that I owned a telescope before you were alive. I've also traveled to see two total eclipses - but only saw one, alas. I also like the opera, but I see no reason why people in Idaho who couldn't care less have to subsidize my seats at the Metropolitan Opera.)

That’s ok. It isn’t like we’re born with that knowledge. There are many threads around here on FR that show people how to use basic HTML.

For example, to post a pic:

(The following would be surrounded by < at the begining and a > at the end, but I have to leave them out so you can see the code, instead of the pic)

IMG SRC=”http://news.discovery.com/space/2011/03/29/mercury-orbit-825.jpg";

When you also have text in the posting along with images, of course it’s a good idea to surround the HTML for the images with tags for Paragraphs. <.P> (Without the .)
