Good to remember.  I had been away and was using my iPad to reply.  One of my
earlier replies (about the isosurface for the nativity set), was missing the
first line, and the second about with the emoji was only a single line anyway,
so I thought maybe the browser on the iPad was truncating the form data for the
posting on the web interface.
