I hate the new smiley's.
I find them incredibly irritating.

But hey, that's just me. (where the hell is the poke out tongue thingy?)

[Grunt]

I too find them annoying but then again I'm grumpy. (Which is much better than being Gumby)

[watson]

I'm pleased that I don't know how to use them, apart from the one that fell into my signature.....and that probably took me two days!
I reckon we should say what we mean (smiley) (smirk) (tee hee)

Noel

Is there any truth to the rumour that these Forums are going to be renamed to

Sesame Street Woodie Forums ?

To anyone who don't like 'em, don't use 'em.

I don't mind when I use them it's all those other people who use them that bother me.

Well, the research I've seen says that in face to face communication, 55% of what is communicated is from physiology (smiling, body language, etc), 38% from tone of voice, and only 7% from the words themselves.

Had a contest with some friends once to see how many things we could communicate with just the word "mate".

So when we type in our words, we are cutting out 93% of our communication. That's why so many people take things the wrong way in emails (and forums).

I reckon anything we can use to improve that is a good thing. Sure the smily faces are a poor substitute for the real thing, but better than nothing.

But in respect of Craig B who started the thread, no smilies in this reply.
