Please do ignore it all. It was truly intended as a (perhaps misguided?) sign of
respect and perhaps a covert message to your subconscious on how to receive it,
and as a (feeble?) attempt to be personal, whether invited or not, via a
faceless and impersonal medium. I have not yet mastered proper Emoticonography
as I should (;-

PS -- "indigenous": actually I prefer to take that word politically rather
than objectively, where it loses most of its meaning and force. And there is
a small part of me that is indigenous in both senses of the term, and that I
honor whenever I can.(:0)
And thank you for allowing me to save face!
