I like to add strikethrough comments but most forums don't make it easy for some reason. Irish_Dem Feb 2023 #3
Yeah, I wish there were an "s" option along with the b, i, and u option when you post. Sky Jewels Feb 2023 #4
I don't know how you use strikethroughs but they can be funny but wicked. Irish_Dem Feb 2023 #5
Maybe so. Sky Jewels Feb 2023 #6
Yes that is how people do it, humorous, ironic, or a jab. Irish_Dem Feb 2023 #7

Maybe forums don't want to deal with that.
