MO_ICONS_PLEASE
For some reason, the ICONS in a past Fido Newsletter, were not
the icons I have seen in use the past several years!!! Where
did the nose come from? Originally,, the set goes as follows,
excluding some that can only be used on IBM, ATARI, COMMODORE,
etc.
:) - smile/happy :( - frown/sad
:D - big smile or laugh :c - pout
:> - mischievious smile :'( - cry
;) - wink ;> - sly wink
:* - kiss [] - hug
:O - shout/yawn O:) - angel/innocent
]:> - devil/guilty :I - content
:# - grimace/frustrated :/ - disfavor/baffled
:P - sticking out tongue :X - not talking

B) - glasses [% - mug
c% - coffee cup U - glass

Also worth considering are the following:

RE - Again (Greetings, as in "re-hi")
LTNS - Long Time No See
M/F - Male or Female (also known as 'MORFING', as in
"Oh no! I've been morfed!!")
I hope this make for more "colorful communicating". Just
remember the quote from Alex Bell (no relationship to the famous
Bell) "Anything that can be said in a few words, isn't worth
saying and should be forgotten". Don't blame me I didn't say
it.
