Because if you scan the responses to your question it's obvious that whether in words of in emoticons, the character and view of the world of the respondent will be clear:
the misanthrope will evince misanthropy, the smart asses will be unable to refrain from smart ass-ery, and the cheerful reasonable, poster remains full of amenable good spirits.

After post 3-4 I noted how clever everyone was being just using emoticons. Then at post 15-16, I correctly read the OP.So......not as subtle a group as given credit for, but just as clever.

Well, in context, not using my brain as a door stop, I must mean I consider the Heading to be part of the Original Post?
Not too hard??
..........or.......if by custom and usage the Heading of a Post is not part of the post, then all I could have read would have been the emoticon. And, again in context, and not using my brain as a door stop, I misread the emoticon.....its meaning clearly understood by all others.
How could what I post not make sense to any thinking person? Did you misread something?
