| Smiley's list ;-)Also called Emoticon, an acronym for emotion icon, a small icon composed
          of characters that indicates how a message
          should be interpreted (that is, the writer's mood). For example, a :-) 
          emoticon indicates that the message is meant as a joke
          and shouldn't be taken seriously
 
 :-)   Your basic smilie. This smilie is used to inflect a sarcastic or 
                joking statement since we can't hear voice inflection.
 ;-)   Winky smilie. User just made a flirtatious and/or sarcastic remark. 
                More of a "don't hit me for what I just said" smilie.
 :-(   Frowning smilie. User did not like that last statement or is upset 
                or depressed about something.
 :-I   Indifferent smilie. Better than a Frowning smilie but not quite as  
                good as a happy smilie
 :->   User just made a really biting sarcastic remark. Worse than a :-).
 >:->  User just made a really devilish remark.
 >;->  Winky and devil combined. A very lewd remark was just made.
