@marichiko: No, I didn't say that. I didn't say I hate smilies, and I didn't say that the use of smilies always constitues a degradation of the user's humanity. Read the words more carefully, and in context.
What I'm driving at is that real life is more nuanced than black and white. I didn't say I was neutral, clearly I stated an opinion, but it wasn't am articficially polarized opinion, it was an invitation to a substantive discussion, IE how are advances in technology changing the way people communicate?
