...we REALLY need a sarcasm smiley...I KNOW this was posted in jest...

Actually, we have this :roll: but it tends to get a lot of people's goat.
That doesn't convey sarcasm as much as derision. Its essentially a subtle way of calling someone an idiot.

I still think the best idea is to rename italics as the sarcasm font. its not like we use it for anything else.

For example:

Oldgringos post was very informative

I would guess if the leadership of your church allowed CHL holders to be a part of the security team it would be legal.

There's been some discussion on this as well, but the general consensus is that being a part of an organized security team as a CHL is VERY gray territory. If you're doing a job (church security), even on a volunteer basis Texas law requires you to have security licensing.

Don't think anyone has ever been prosecuted for it, but it might be better for the CHLs to regard themselves as the "unorganized militia" of church security. :tiphat:
