I would appreciate some strong arguments from people who advocate the addition of more smiles.

On other websites where they have a lot more emoticons available than FT, I actually find myself distracted by them... and actually frustrated because some members choose to use them all the time.... and often.

So, I need to hear how this will enhance the basic mission of flyertalk.... I do know that emoticons can help convey a message... just concerned over the distractions.

Thanks,

William
