nah, i’m all about the deadpan and messing with people. you’re smart enough to see through it… people who *need* smilies deserve a good flogging with my benevolence. and it just so happens that Benevolence is the name of my beat stick.
and i dont think forcing benevolence down people’s throat’s is all that bad. we are, after all, talking about doing away with choice since people are apparently unable to make the right ones…
