If you are posting, you have the option of changing the subject or snipping the material. I like the smiley faces since I use them to convey a multitude of expressions such as :) :( and :|. Some people try to be humorous in how they say things, but realize that a given phrase can be misinterpreted (the written language being limited to no voice inflection, facial or body language). So, it is important to use symbols !!, ??, ?! to assist in meaning. The only problem I really have is when people are typing everything or most everything in capital letters. This implies shouting which I do not like hearing in person either. But capitalizing one word implies EMPHASIS to me as opposed to shouting, so it is ok with me. KarinsDad :)
