And since I'm often too lazy to add that extra line to css, I just go with "text mode".

I usually don't use a lot of smileys, only the classics ";)" and ":)" so they display more or less the same on all platforms. 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. I never really thought about it for the reason I never really had problems with smileys.

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). @Brad
