Emoticons...

For those who don't know, these are emoticons:

They're pretty cool, and they help get your mood across. Without them, sarcasm could be taken the wrong way or something that was meant to me harmless might hurt someone's feelings. At the same time, they can get a little annoying. Imagine this being a message.

" I thought that was a great I ed at the beginning, that character was really Did you mean that to be green "

Ow... my eyes...

it just takes your attention away from what the person's trying to say, and it's not really comprehensible. Please keep it to a minimum

Thanks!
