I have found Opera's 'block content' option most helpful in this regard.
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

You are as held in bondage to the emoticons as they are held by you Denny. Free them.

If you love someone, set them free, free, set them free.

There you go. A whole post without an emoticon. Have you looked into 12 step programs?

I was taught to use them, over the first year or so, on this board.

Your joining should change that?

I have always thought that emoticons were a crutch for writing. Never used them when writing letters or email's. Tried it here for the first couple of months and found that if I felt the needed to use one, it was better to rewrite the post. My one exception is the tinfoil hat emoticon.

This is not to be above the use of a crutch, I use spell check all the time. Trust me, you would not like me to stop.
