I think that the most pressing need is a smiley for idiocy.

And a smiley for "I can't think of anything meaningful to write and I can't be fagged posting in LOTPIHGAD," may be useful for some.

Not to mention a smiley for "I'm so sad and my life is so pitiful could somebody please feel sorry for me and, preferably, give me some green rep?"

It is a sad world when the only way people think they are communicating is through smilies and "TXT".

Just pure brilliance.

p.s. when are you shutting down that thread anyway? Surely it is a waste of useful megabytes.

I like to think that it has a similar effect to those blue lights in butchers' shops, keeping the flies off the displayed meat. Unfortunately, like the blue light, it isn't totally effective in keeping infantile attention seekers completely away from and out of the main threads. I do have a can of flit, just in case, but have been warned against excessive use...

Ah yes, but did Hitcher's smilies add to the communique? I'd place even money that they were trenchant in the extreme, every time.

Some people use them like freaking wallpaper.

184 in over 11,000 posts? Pretty minimal usgae stats I'd say.

Some people have more smilies posted than actual posts. That's sad.
