Tink:
I would question the date of 1982 being the first use of one.
In the early days of telegraph communications, using Morse code, laughter
was portrayed as a series of dots (screen readers might want to set
punctuation to all! And set repeated character to 4!) :-)

They're called emoticons and they're very much part of communicating for
and with sighted people. If you're interested in knowing more, I wrote a
guide to emoticons which can be found on my website:

Well if we want to operate in the sighted world, I think we shouldn't take
that attitude and we should develop a way of using them. If we want to
decide we can't be bothered because it doesn't suit us, why shoul he world
accommodate some of our needs when it doesn't suit them? I just think we
need to go one way or the other, our own world with our own rules, or join
in properly in as many ways as we can!
Cheers

Well, here's my take on it!
I don't use winks and smiles, or grins are about all I do use. The
thing is, I don't remember the signs for them and so just write out the
words within < and > signs to make them perfectly readable. I'm not on
lists where there are more sighted people than blind, so why should I care!
<Smiles>
Hope that clarifies things a little for you!
