Emoticons - Way too many small round yellow circles with human-like expressive demeanors in order to punctuate someone's intended meaning, reflecting upon their posted text.
It starts to lose some of it's intent, and most of it's symbolism when used at all, if not most of the time, then at least when responding to a posting, or replying to a reply from another's posting of a comment, on this wonderful discussion site if used in a frivolous fashion.
Thank you, CR4, for allowing us participants in this forum to engage with people around the world, to discuss many different solutions to our common challenges.
Please keep the Emoticon option open, as well the ABC spell checking, and the Character set open and available as well, but please try to subtly suggest to idea/comment posters to possibly use the Emoticon punctuation toolset in accepted good taste decorum, to not reply with every bantering about, that may ensue, with a sign-on or sign-off, if you will with a happy or sad, or mad, or frustrated round yellow expressive face.
It (Emoticon) just seems to be starting to lose all of it's intended meaning, if it's being abused for so long, after a while. As well, it can get absolutely sickening when abused by certain folks in general.
I think we all may know who the intransigents may be, but they shall remain unnamed, due to national security interests.
Thank you - Loupy - (put Emoticon of your choice here)
