The anti-smilie Polytoners.

[MrFun]

I don't think I have ever seen JM use any smilie in posting in any thread. There may be a couple of others like JM that I cannot think of off-hand right now.

I think there's something weird about them.

Smilies are great!

Well I don't think I'd grab my pitchfork and flaming torch if they disappeared, but the wink smiley is very useful when your post is not entirely serious and don't want it to be taken as such by any conclusion-jumpers-to.

[MrFun]

Exactly! In fact, I think there's a correlation with increased use of smilies and greater chance for world peace.

What we really need is to get the message icons properly restored.

**** off, the lot of you!

My theory is JM doesn't have a colon key on his keyboard.

[duke o' york]

He probably does, but given the trouble he has finding the right letters at the best of times then he'll have never used it.

My theory is JM doesn't have a colon key on his keyboard.

Maybe he had to have it removed because of colon cancer.

Mobius uses lots of smilies.

[self biased]

i don't, but i think my gratuitous use of the italics tags more than makes up for it.

[MOBIUS]

Mobius uses lots of smilies.

I always know I'm winning an argument when people stop arguing with me and begin to whine about how many smilies I use...

Smilies are great!
