Ok - I'm seriously asking this because I don't get it.
Nancy said something to the effect of they're used to mask genuine feelings or something? I would go back and actually quote you Nancy - but I'm already typing this.
Now - I don't know about anyone else - but I find the smilies to be fun and I have never knowingly used one to mask any real feelings - or hide some felt aggravation that I was really afraid to let out....
So - what's the beef with the smilies? I like them - again, I think they're fun and I always thought they were a nice little addition to my posts....
So tell me - I want to hear from all sides on this - what are your problems/or non-problems with the smilies??
