Re: most annoying.
Smileys are not annoying. Smilies are an exploration of a new medium of communication. And as always, there are those who just don't like them consarned new fangled horseless carriages. My favorite smiley is the one that does laundry, but it is not available here. Ok nuff trolling let's see what bites.

I miss the smiley face tipping his hat that the grey forum has.
Which reminds me of the conversation between Mick Jagger and the Veteren Jazzer George Melly.
" Mick how did your face get so lined ?"
" They are laughter lines George"
" Mick... nothings that funny."

Soon, all we'll be doing is grunting and posting smileys.
It makes my blood run cold thinking that perhaps some of you are already there - beyond help...
Got that?
