(...) You're strengthening my case! ;) It's no big deal. I like them; they are much warmer. Interestingly, my news reader auto-converts. ;) Scott A (22 years ago, 26-Mar-03, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)
 
  Re: emoticons ;)
 
(...) How so? Is your rationale, 'everybody's doing it?' ;-) (...) Well, there you have it then. I'm not against having emoticions as an option for those who like them, but in more cases than not I strongly prefer plain-text emoticons. And I think (...)

(...)

  Re: emoticons
 
(...) Hear! Hear! I'm starting to find all the ezBoards ('n others) quite annoying with the emoticons everywhere... 'specially that one for rofl--thought it was cute at first, now it just annoys me. I vote 'Nay' on the icons :) Dave K (22 years ago, 26-Mar-03, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)
