LOL Less .. that's the only text thingy I use .. I love it.
C'mon .. you are the one that does point out at times (sarcastically

) that there was a smiley behind the dialogue (or lack of it).
What's wrong with reassuring people that a comment was meant in a humourous way ?

Because text has no inflexion .. this is the reason there are smilies on forums ... you are the biggest user of these .. and good they are too.
