Usenet and email are falling apart.
Instead of being the great leap forward in communication they were meant to 
be,
our text-based forms of communication are causing rifts between us.
Face-to-face and on the phone, our vocal inflexions make it clear when we
are not being serious, when we are being sarcastic.

End ambiguity in written sarcasm.
Use the sarcasm hat "^"
^and be the envy of all your friends^

Support the sarcasm mark --
Shift+6 on a keyboard near you!
