one, maybe two. three is going too far and four or more is way too much.

I don't know, it depends on what kind of mood I'm in, or what I'm trying to express :) I don't think I'd fill up a page with them or anything! ;)

It usually depends on what kind of a mood I'm in. But I would never overdo it and put 20 or 30 smileys in a post.

Very good, Max. ;D
I voted three but it's a choice that other people should not be forced into (modified joke: credit to Mark ;)).

I say 4 max if you're extra excited, high or something. Anymore than that and I may have to break out the modding guns. http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0304/waffen/violent-smiley-044.gif

I went with 4...it can get annoying when there are tons of smilies. It doesn't slow my dial up down, though.

Like a few have already said, it depends on the message I am trying to convey or my mood. When I typing a long post (which I have been known to do from time to time), I may include one or two at the end of a sentence to get my meaning across more clearly. I usually to three at the end of a post like this:
;) :D ;D or ;D ;D ;D (I know, I just used more than my quota. ;))

Wow! There's a ton of them. Thanks for the link, Crazymom (though it may not have been too far way away from here).
I think this calls for a bit of experimenting. :D

For the last so long, I have felt deprived. This is like letting a kid into a candy store - I've just got to work out how to do it now. ::)

I've seen some boards with more emoticons than members, but I agree, we could use a few more kinds of smilies!
