This is a list translating those strange emotions you see in cyberspace messages.

Much of it is based on a file called CISexp.doc compiled by Josh Mandel. That file
included earlier files by James Bach & Joan Friedman.

Other contributors since are: Sally Neuman, Neil Rubenking, Orville Fudpucker,
Dave Konkel, William Crockett, and Rey Barry.
