Get to work on a sniley/tongue-in-cheek icon, please? I would make my life a lot easier is such an icon existed. ================================= I could think of several sarcastic things to say.
But since I lack the proper emoticon, I won't say anything.

I thought sarcasm was just a given on usenet and didn't require an emoticon. You just assume it's there unless otherwise noted..... like ghost runners. :-)

We always had to call the ghost runner explicitly before leaving the base. :-)
There's enough sarcasm on usenet that an emoticon is required for when people aren't being sarcastic!

I think smiley-face emoticons have reached their limit long ago. What we need now are emoticons that represent hand gestures.
