This Forum's Wink Emoticon

To me it means, "this sentence may sound like I'm belittling you, but I'm really not".

Kind of like saying "no offense, but...." and then saying something offensive.

Still, I feel compelled to use this emoticon, as it's my only way of hinting that I'm not being completely serious.  I have a dry sense of humor, and that's hard to put across with just text.

	... Is a right little smart ass don't you think? Everytime I see someone use it, it gives off this condescending vibe. Annoying really. Is that what it's meant for, or is it actually a more friendly wink?
