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...
