Ah! Thank you! :-) I'm glad I didn't by mistake offend anyone! I highly 
value the time and the efforts of people on this list, so I would feel 
really bad to be perceived as a "noisemaker" or something like that!

Well, this is really funny: it reminds me of an article on the history 
of the Internet I read some years ago. IIRC it explained the genesis of 
the emoticons ("smileys") as a way to overcome the "human relationship" 
limitations of a pure text communication medium among people scattered 
over a huge area, possibly having different backgrounds and coming from 
different communities.
Well maybe I should learn how to use them better ;-) :-)
