It isn't possible to blankpost in UF. :(

Even with U+200C.

Hit Backspace (at the top-right of your keyboard) a number of times until the underscore character is deleted.

Then type whatever text you require in the blank space.

IMO consider selling desktop support ;-)

That way you will get a nickel (or more) when people say it. :-D

Umm, it's nickel. There is no "British spelling"

Unless you're talking about the programming language (http://www.nickle.org/), or the people named "Nickle" (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Nickle)

sounds like a plan.

I wish I had a nickel for every pointless thread.
Can you suggest a business plan for that as well ?
