For J.P.Gilliver, Esq.

Hey John,

I know we have e.o. KF'd and rightly so, because while I
think we respect each other, you drive me crazy, and you have
gotten tired of me bitching about your manner of posting.

Still, feeling a little nutty tonight, FYE, here are just two
files of emoticons.

Tell me, is it better to be thought a square [] or a hugger
[] ?

Here's the first one...

(Hmm, "Above" suggests you haven't started at the start of the list -
or, someone has sorted them alphabetically on the second column, which
makes "Above" meaningless.)

[] Hugs
[] and :* Hugs and kisses
[]
...and here's the other...

250 or so emoticons

[] User gives you a hug

Hmm; I think you'll find that these lists are created for fun, and apart
from (-:/(:, )-:/):, and _one or two_ others, nobody actually uses them
or even remembers what they [are claimed to] mean. (I'm pretty sure I
have said this before, though can't remember whether it was in response
to you or not.)

Having said that, I've been a square since school (mainly, I didn't have
much liking for the majority of pop music then [197x] in vogue);
slightly later in life, I used to claim I was a "young fogey". So
doesn't bother me being thought of as square! (Actually, according to my
weight, I'm more round, though I - and some, kind, others - don't think
I look it.)

And I like giving hugs too, when I get the chance. (Not a tree-hugger or
bunny-hugger, though, as those terms are normally used.)
