just wanted to clarify that I ment in the past I felt smilies annoying as I can certainly see their importance now. Especially since words innocently spoken can be innocently misunderstood. I too have a basically dry sense of humour and can already see the need for choosing my words (and smilies

) carefully.
It may be a good thing that I am a man of few word?!?
:OT: Just wanted to say that I enjoy visiting here often to hear the knowledge/opinions of others. Thanx.
