Hi *!

I have tried to "interpret" the incoming statements from the last days
into one table. Sometimes it wasn't clear if some symbol was jst a
suggestions or if th poster liked, sometimes it wasn't clear if it meant
+1 or +2. Some suggestions like "~>" came in very late and didn't get a
chance. So this is very inaccurate but - SURPRISE! - I couldnt belive it
but there's a clear trend: The only symbols with an adequate number of
responses and clearly positive results are ":", "::" and ":::" and the
longer it gets, the less people like it.

How's that for colons?

So I suppose somehow any of these would be accepted,
but ":" is better than "::" is better than ":::"

OLLi

Table follows...
