After my suggestions for cutting down the totally frustrating multiple
repeats of replies by just learning to use your Email programs, here is
another: Learn to use "emoticons", people. These are pretty universal
to the cogniscenti of users who get around on the net and save a lot of
misunderstanding possible in this medium. But let it be said - most
misunderstandings are caused by people who do not think things through........
EMOTICONS - you "read" them as pictures by looking at them sideways: :-)
this equals a little face on its side, smiling. :-( frowning,
:-{ mortified/embarrassed at a goof, 8-0 shocked, ;-] = a wink
, :-D laughing, :-# = say no more, :-! = hate that/you.
The 3 most useful are:
:-) smiling - not too serious
:-( sad to hear that
:-{ oops! I goofed.
Oh, and one more, little used..... :-D laughing out loud
Cheers!
