Dudley Henriques-


Okay, I hear you.

I have to use them all the time at work, lest these misunderstandings
cause big problems.


The stuff comes at you fast on Usenet. Lots of personalities
interacting at the same time.
Whenever I'm not absolutely certain my tone will be taken the right way
I always use those damn smilies. They're stupid looking I admit, but
they serve me a very useful purpose. People seldom mistake my intent.
