Yeah, I know that story. :) Must be good to have documented proof you invented something so symbolic.

Exactly. :) Why bother fixing something unneeded in first place.

I never said issue is critical one. :) But personally I prefer graphical smileys disabled, less trouble that way.

I don’t like smileys “in-post”, I don’t think they look very professional so you shouldn’t have any problems copy-pasting my articles ;). In comments it’s OK though.

You made me think…But I don’t see it as a crucial issue for me.

As post says – for a quote/note.

For example if I want to quote part of smiley-heavy post from your blog in mine. How should I do it? Editing means changing your words, re-creating your smileys means hotlinking to your images (which may or may not work), etc.

Sometimes I save stuff as notes in Opera sidebar. It works with plain text (only saves link to original).

“Copying and pasting articles” – when would you do that?? Just out of curiosity.
