Hi Alex:

I think emoticons make SI a much friendlier place to be. Its very hard sometimes to determine if a person is serious or just joking around. The use of emoticons makes it a little easier to communicate in this manner.

Maybe, you will find these fun....

Alex,

I stand corrected on silicon/silicone, even though I DID spell silicone with a small "S" (or would have had silicone not been the first word in the sentence). My statement is misleading in the context I used.

I must, however, take exception with your insisting that Silicone Valley is a suburb of Los Angeles. After all, everyone knows that Silicone Valley is near Las Vegas!
