         Re: emoticons ;) —Tim Courtney
     (...) [snip] good ones! (...) Are you the guy who people referenced with something like that on RTL back in the day?

        Re: emoticons —Adrian Drake
     (...) Me too too. Especially the blinking ones. I was at this random board somewhere (chasing down a linkto to brickfrenzy, most likely) and there were so many animated smileys plastered all over this board that it made my eyes bleed.
