it doesn't add the smileys?

I see it doesn't

never saw that option before.

No, they don't offend me. I think its part of my general complaint about shorthand, sloppy discussions. Not like I think I am any better, but I dont see how a smiley does much to inhance a conversation.

Now if they did useful things like... Well, we can leave that for other themed forums. ;)
