So far I've not been enlightened by the addition of these little sound-lets. Are they intended to replace the old *grin* or :-) to indicate mirth? They must require some time to type in, as some have pretty interesting patterns. Perhaps someone should collect different versions and post them to a list somewhere that deals in humor items. If this sounds mean-spirited, it's not intended that way. I for one like to read the messages for content and don't need a laugh track to understand humor.
