Er, perhaps the contemplation of fine Tex-Mex cullinary creations would
be more entertaining, and in fact nourishing?

But, what if just the *headers* are working, but not the *body* text??!?
Wait, I forgot. Most newbies are like, "Header? Body? What are you

: Wouldn't leaving the body of the post empty also suffice,
: since he or she would know that his or her functional

: it's terribly original subject field of "test" in the list of
: posted drivel?

: Or why not show a flair for the only slightly mundane by
