I agree that smileys are a language of their own, but I question their value in
a "text communication". As a writer, I value emotional verbosity more than
interjected emoticons. It reminds my why people cuss -- they don't know the right
words to say. (Wait, is this where the :-} goes?)

Yes, euphoria is hyper-happiness. But I thought EUPHORIA was an acronum for "End
User Programming with Hierarchical Objects for Robust Interpreted Applications"?
