To me, they do mean very different things. The sad smiley didn't say "joke"; it said "boo!". I think that a happy smiley would help.

So, I think it's best just to live in constant fear that people don't think things are funny. :-) Thanks, -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery [EMAIL PROTECTED] (650) 331-3385 x713
