I thought Carol's suggestion was good, those are Sun Sail's (but you don't
sail the sun with them).

I find message boards entertaining in the way they expose how difficult written
communication is (not that verbal communication is easy). Without the inflection
of ones voice something like "get lost" can be anything from a final F you
to something you would say jokingly to a friend. The smiley faces help
some but what often happens is someone gets the message they unconsciously
look for. Cognitive dissonance and Confirmation_bias we all do them all the time
and we need to remember that.

I have lots of people tell me they don't post on the message board because
they don't want to risk getting attacked for their post. I certainly can
understand that but also feel like life is pretty short and communication is
such a learning curve (mostly about ourselves) that posting is worth the possible
miss understandings and "risk".
