envelope icon with little black dot

[Azul]

What does the envelope with the little black dot mean?

I think I'm right in saying that it means that you've posted in that particular thread.

In Soviet Russia, dot posts you!

Apologies to that guy who keeps on saying that at /.

Speaking of that, my personal favorite is: (saw it in somebody's slashdot sig)

"In Soviet Russia, the RIAA sues YOU! Oh wait..."

:D
And yes, I'm pretty sure that's what the dot means.

Why it's not listed with the rest of the envelope icon descripitions (at the bottom of the forum page) I've no idea though; must have just slipped through the cracks... :confused:

Hey! There's another one.

Right after posting this, I went back and checked this thread, and low and behold, IT WAS THERE! :D

[AndrewLubinus89]

Oh my....your right....the black dot is following me... *looks both ways paranoidly*

[X_console]

Yes... it's to show you posted in that thread. But actually it's our way of tracking down your activities in the forum. ;)

paranoidly???

[AndrewLubinus89]

You would be paranoid too if a black dot followed you wherever you went....

[mengle]

paranoidly???

It's a perfectly cromulent word. In fact, it embiggens us all. :p
