Those Ubiquitous Smileys

[Kim Ballard <ballardk -at- MACE -dot- CC -dot- PURDUE -dot- EDU>]

Someone asked for smileys, so I thought I'd forward this file, which
seem to have tons.  Delete now if you're not in the least bit
interested. A good friend of mine (at least she was before I forwarded
this file ;-) }  just sent me this list of smileys. I accidentally
wiped out the last few smileys she'd posted as I edited this post for
forwarding, but note the information about getting even more smileys.

> The basic faces are easy:

> :-)   Your basic smiley.  This smiley is used to inflect a sarcastic
        or joking statement since we can't hear voice inflection over Unix.
> ;-)   Winky smiley.  User just made a flirtatious and/or sarcastic
        remark.  More of a "don't hit me for what I just said" smiley.
> :-(   Frowning smiley.  User did not like that last statement or is
        upset or depressed about something.
> :-I   Indifferent smiley.  Better than a Frowning smiley but not
        quite as good as a happy smiley.
> :->   User just made a really biting sarcastic remark.
> >:->  User just made a really devilish remark.
> >;->  Winky and devil combined.  A very lewd remark was just made.

to your internet friends (and foes).
