Mankind (or if you prefer humankind) managed to communicate without smilies for centuries. Millennia, even. Now, perhaps a lot of people think they're cute, perhaps a lot more people think that they need to have them because the precise nuances of their comments might otherwise be misunderstood, and gawsh, people are so sensitive, y'know?
I found smilies interesting for a period of about five minutes perhaps five years ago. But now, I'm sick of them. Just about every bloody forum I go to has them. (Lean, mean old htmlhelp.com/bbs/ is a refreshing exception.) It's just byte-wasting crapola, really. No smilies, please. |

Thanks for the nudge. "Do you wish to view images in posts, such as smilies and posted images?" Well, I don't want to view smilies. So NO. Bit of a waste when people start posting meaningful images.
I said bye bye to "avatars" too. More signal, less noise. |
