      (...) 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)

      (...) 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 (...)

      (...)
