never really looks embarassed to me! But I don't want a whole bunch more in number, maybe just a slight improvement.
Let's say we eventually do flags. Then my suggestion would be to allow the member to fly whatever flag s/he desired. Maybe it's where they were born or where they live or a favorite place or whatever.
And on the smilie issue, I'd like to refer to the quote yesterday from

They're basically a modernizing face-lift of our current smilies with the addition of a few extra ones. The size would, of course, remain the same as what we currently use.
