I have been thinking about my recent lifetime ban from using sideways smily faces. It makes no sense. i was punished for wasting bloggers virtual time, but my punishment has only made me a less efficient blogger. I can now only operate at 20% effeciency when expressing happiness to my fellow bloggers. Before i could type two characters with no use of the space bar, and everyone would know that I was in a good mood. Now if i want to express my mood of elation I must use eight characters and hit the space bar twice.
(I am happy is five times longer than a sideways smily face.)
The outcome of my punishment is more wasted time of my fellow bloggers who are forced to read unnecessary words.

Not to mention the confusion created in blog goers that are not accustom to the manual expression of mood.
A union(versal) solution perhaps, consider the substitutional use of the lowly semi-colon & close parentheses demonstrated herein ;) which would convey to honest readers your general good will of the moment, still I must add: to the flirty you may be winking ;) to the mischievous you could be a confederate ;) to the satirical your dry wit might be exposed ;) but for the saturnine (not to show to much gaiety) you should use ;] and for the French perhaps ;} which would of course combine all of the aforementioned and confuse many of your true intent, however it may be best to use only ) so as not to offend anyone and allow your blind readers see your truly sensitive & empathetic nature. PS: Of course the font you choose will add a whole new pallet of nuances. Ta-ta, Jero ;)
