an object of great revilement to smilies. Heaven forsooth that one should have a substitute for body language or tone of voice!

Was hoping that bit of harshness was intended as humour. If so, it was not that obvious.    Just to clarify (evidently needed): This was a reply to Anna but was about the Curinor post #167610 - Mon Apr 16 2007 11:24 PM.

You could try the old Soviet gesture of banging a shoe on the table. That is usually pretty clear and is probably convenient (in your case).

Using smilies is like going to the dentist. It's not pleasant, but it's useful. As they remind me of the dentist I dislike the ones with the teeth most of all.   -

Really liked the old ones better. Perhaps a shoe-banging one could be added.
