***** = encrypts (NOT TO, PRIVATE..)

+++++ = dramatics

[ FAQ Excerpt follows: ]

3. "Dramatics"
Many times, a posting will be made that has what are
termed "Dramatics" in them. Often times, this will be
downloading of a program, a description of a video camera
shot, a virus attacking the poster, or some such. To
properly set these events off, one will utilize five '+'
symbols. For Example:

+++++ Download: bad_guy.picture

or

+++++ Video: You see at big monkey climbing a
skyscraper while little airplanes annoy him.
