YOUR opinion, as you said.

If posters want specific answers, posters should word their questions in grammatically correct English. That way there will be less confusion and less chance of people taking the mickey.

Unnecessary - yes

Hostile - no

Actwav - no

Nasty - no

Emoticons (Smiley faces) are intended to convey tone as that can't be determined from the printed word. As such they should be read as part of the post, not as an optional adjunct.
