Here is a very long list of faces, I'm sorry that it is so long but alot
of people don't have an Email address, so here they are!!!!!!! I hope
these are enough.
If you are looking for one line smiley faces and ASCII, I have
included a list that I have complied . There are some repeats in the list
because I haven't had time to sort them out. Hope it helps...
Please give me credit for the faces. blu...@aol.com
