It's a problem. I share your frustration with it being misunderstood sometimes. Many people are so bloody SERIOUS that they just can't "get" someone who isn't, and who is laughing much of the time. So you try to use emoticons to get the point across, and it has the opposite effect, and they get even more uptight. Go figure. ------------------------ Yahoo!
