"Without voice and body language, "jokes" are not necessarily recognized as such. This is particularly true of the "dry sense of humour."
How does one extract and eliminate "dry sense of humor" from a Brit, I ask you?
I think we all will have to adjust or quietly fade away. Every discussion board I've ever joined took some getting used to -- some reading while lurking, some tentative posts -- before one felt "at home." I don't know how TarBoard could be any different.
