I'm on your side Boris. I don't use them in every message . . .
And there's the significant point.
An occasional stylistic markup is one thing. But I find that
their presence distracts to the extent that it's hard to take
a posting seriously with too many of them scattered around.
And the format that Boris uses is a lot harder to ignore than
one simple three-character emoticon at the end of the post.
