[IGS] anachronisms and emoticons

-- [ From: Dale Neil * EMC.Ver #2.5.3 ] --

Hi ,

Since a number of the users here have mentioned that they are somewhat
new to the internet and Email world, I thought I would post a list of
frequently use anachronisms and emoticons that help a writer convey
feelings and possibly avoid problems in communications (hopefully<G>).
This is a very abbreviated list (you would not believe the variations
that exists) but it consists of the most common ones used.
Hope this helps.

Dale
