Hi Peter,
The smilies don't annoy you, your mind goes out and annoys the smilies.

Four types of letting go:
1) Giving; expecting nothing back in return
2) Throwing things away
3) Contentment; wanting to be here, not wanting to be anywhere else
4) "Teflon Mind"; having a mind which doesn't accumulate things
- Ajahn Brahm

I only miss some!
I could get lost in this one:
I love my evil little fly:
Isn't that cute?

Re: most annoying.
Most of them are one-dimensional and lack subtlety. How often do we really roll on the floor laughing?

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."
Re: most annoying.

Re: most annoying.
Smileys are the vermin of online communication.
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...
