Minimal Emoticons

I love emoticons, but I reckon they could be pared down a whole lot.

Therefore:

) happy
( sad
: have a look at this
- nosey

etc

Couldnt they be very easily confused with punctuation: (like this - for example)).

Any chance of adding to the Dissensus emoticons? Ive noticed a bit of disdain for their use around here, but I for one find them invaluable in projecting and detecting the subtleties of online discourse...

I love the little hands! :D

A fairly common jokey thing for sarcasm seems to be putting mock HTML tags around it, but just testing that here it doesn't seem to work. Pretty cumbersome, anyway.

Or cheers:

( ^ ^)/C[_]*[_]D\(^ ^ )

which is three times as long as writing 'cheers'. :confused:

I can't see the ghost at all... :eek:

i do wish the yellow icons worked properly with the black stylesheet - they need to sit on transparent background & they will look really :cool:
