Well like I said, I'm not real fond of emoticons either, I'm just saying
there are certain things you can communicate with ascii text and certain
things you can't.  At the risk of being completely tactless, I've noticed
that a certain minority of the Lugnetters I've met are only able to
communicate on an ascii level, even in person.  I can remember a number of
conversations that would have been greatly facilitated if I'd just thought
to bring a couple of signboards with basic emoticons on them, so that I'd
have something to hold up when even the most blatant nonverbal cues were
just not being received.

Why didn't this ever occur to me?!  I might have to print some up and keep them
in my wallet!  Man!  Year's wasted!  Now if only I could come up with some sort
of easy format "joke explainer" so that I wouldn't have to.
