very sorry about the dead horse smiley thing, pixies & Kiya
it has no connotations like that for us, we will be more careful
but we can't see how you can be cruel to a dead horse, you can be disrespectul of it though & we didn't mean that, it is a common saying here, used when trying to change something it is too late to change imagine the derivation would be from colonial times

we are much more disturbed by the fact that we have 2 new smilies that vomit
& the threads are all in a weird order of posts, we don't get it
