First, let me preface this by saying this:

I Effing detest message boards who's members infest each of their posts with hundreds of smileys. I think the quickest way to ruin a board is to introduce a bunch of smileys and watch the mooks go to town. It encourages laziness, in my opinion. Of course, I know my mere mentioning of this will encourage a bunch of smiley-only posts, but I cannot help that.

Also, I find it perplexing when moderators bring in a bunch of smileys that mean nothing. The smiley was first used as a way to convey an emotion. That's why they're called emoticons. Somewhere along the way, people started making smileys which had nothing to do with emotion and they got used en masse. As I mentioned before, I hate this practice.

That being said, these default smileys, Biff, they suck. I propose you being in the following smileys, to appease me. I will introduce each smiley by using it in a sentence, so you can feel the full impact of how right I am:

Hmmmm....maybe you're right about that. Then again.... [Image: confused0006.gif]
