Have you noticed that some posters seem to use the emoticon buttons more than others?
I have often wondered if those who use the buttons are normally very animated while talking, and use their arms and hands more than those who don't use the buttons.
If maybe they substituted the use of the emoticons for their inability to flail about with their arms, or make faces like they do in person.
I haven't met any of you in person yet so can't say. It is true, or just a bad theory?

nah it's because for some reason we still find them cute. and it expresses the emotion not seen in regular type-fonts

omg what a nerd i am! i am sorry to every cool person that had to read my last response!
Speaking only for myself, I am emoticonically truncated as a result of childhood trauma.

LOL @ Wander...
You guys are too funny. But, have you noticed that people who use the emoticons also talk with their hands and exaggerated facial expressions?
Curiosity is killing me...

I talk with my hands....and show emotion in my eyes....so I use, ........ !!!!!! and emoticons. If you ever saw me talk you'd know why! I also love the new "Betty"
I never even looked where you got these! We had a big virus problem quite awhile back, someone blamed it on someone downloading those little faces to use in IM. We won't say who did the blaming, someone who maybe felt persecuted by all the viruses. So I had an aversion to using them. Now, I know I will not get a std from using them!
Usually I'm feeling too serious here. A few times they would have sufficed as an answer though. Well, I feel stupid. carla
