No. I haven't and I won't. I just conveyed that you can go a long way
without all those (other) visuals. As you know I sometimes use smileys
myself. And not too long ago it would have been better to do so in a
message to you, as you will remember.

I have nothing against visuals and formatting - by far not - but it is
always a good idea to think first and then try to use as much as
needed and as little as possible. One kind of application for Ockam's
Razor.

Happy Easter!
