Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

Oh, sorry, I love them.... I'm not seeing your face and the same with you, remember? I happen to be specially fond of the red face of anger  , it's so... cute? (what a manly word that is  )....
And for those too serious to handle emoticons, just don't use them.  |

They're bloody niave, that's why they're so great :D No seriously, kids of our days, who use msn and those things, they use emoticons in their essays. The art of sarcasm has been replaced by a simple :P , I know I've been a techer for a while. I was cruel and dropped 5 points from every emoticon, and 3 of them failed XD XD XD

Exactly!
It's all too easy to read something into a written post that isn't there; what is meant as a jokey p+++ take can, if read wrong come across as insulting. Hence the emoticon - it can soften a sentence to convey the fact it was written with humour (  ), or conversly can emphasise the seriousness of a point (  ).
That's my opinion, anyway - if anyone disagrees they can go and  themselves up the with a bloody big !
Sideways!

I'm not really sure on my opinion on this subject.... Excessive use of emoticons make people look more childish and immature(from my point of view), but emoticons are very neat in certain cases, f.ex when you want to express irony or sarcasm with a winking smiley
