I too was only playfully argueing, though I don't use the emoticon, and furthermore don't really see the need for using it, either you get it or you don't (you here being people, not you as a person).
I didn't notice your emoticons but I got your point anyway.

I hear ya' man. Those emoticons are absolutely worthless half the time. I've looked back at some of my old posts from time to time and noticed that some of them were so harsh, that the emoticons didn't mean jack. It's funny though, as others do this as well, including "non-members", and I don't mean guests.
But, I've been trying not to include so much flamage in my posts as of late, though I'm not always successful. I seem to have my fair share of "off" days.
