If posters would like resolution one way or another to the question of expanded smilies (the actual subject of this thread) I would be happy to put a motion before the talkboard and welcome input on the wording of such a motion.

I am thinking something along the lines of: The Talkboard recommends that Flyertalk expand the smilies choices to include additional tasteful smilies drawn from the smilies at http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smilies/smilies.html , leaving the specific smilies to be recomended to a 2/3 majority vote of the talkboard on each of the smilies at that link.

That's a concept I'd support.

Thoughts?
