I can't imagine being convinced that italics are of less communicative value than animated cartoon faces. Am I to believe that every person posting the same SMILIE has experienced an identical emotion, or, that they have the desire to express an identical emotion? I find SMILIES to be counter-productive to substantive communication.

You are counter-productive to substantive communication. And your friends. And your little dog too.

Nyaah.

See, the smilie made that point much better than just the text alone.

That's nice.

I find you to be both:
  • counter-productive to substantive communication, and
  • one of these.

And that is why vBulletin has an ignore function. You can join the other AGers there. Goodbye.
