Haha, 'pedant' impersonation fail. Also, I read that thread a long time ago and my attitude to emoticons is just different from yours--personally, I don't need them at all, but I'm not putting them there for myself, or anyone who doesn't need them, either, but for those who do like them. It just helps on a forum--I don't use them in e-mail at all--, and it's no skin off my nose.
