Bobby suggested this poll in another thread.  I thought about and said, "Why not?"

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!  ;)

Emoticons, although strangley annoynig can help give an idea of the mood of the poster (angry, sarcsastic, Shocked)

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.

Those emoticons slow the page down a wee bit... especially when in groups of 100

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.

Meh.. use as many as you want..

The only things i find annoying are.. wadda they called Gifs.. *cough*mark*cough* because they slow the page down even with DSL

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

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