I was just wondering (some random thoughts to waste time so I don't have to
study), just how many people use the full extent of those faces that they have
on that humongous ascii smiley list?  For me, these are the ones I use:

	:)   regular smiley 		:-)  if you like noses
	;)   winky smiley (coy)   	;-)
	:P   silly smiley	  	:-P
	;P   joking teasing smiley	;-P
	:]   moronic grin smiley	:-]
	:?   quizzical smiley		:-?


but actually, that's about it.  I mean, does anyone every use smileys like
this:

	dB-(#)   the "guy who likes wearing baseball caps, horn-rimmed glasses
		 and also has braces" smiley

	=|:-)=   the Uncle Sam/Abraham Lincoln smiley

	<<<|:-)/////>  the hat and tie salesman smiley


Perhaps you may use it once, but consistently?  In normal conversations?  Do
you have an entire 10 page printout which you search through in order to find
the perfect smiley for the sentence that so recently scrolled of the screen as
the other people were talking?  I admit I have downloaded my share of smiley
documents and printed them out, but I have yet to use 95% (at least) of the
smileys in the collection (these are pretty big lists ;)

Just interested.  That's all.  I guess I'll go back to studying...
