OK, I've seen quite a few posting about the smiley dictionary that is 
apparently out and around somewhere, but there doesn't appear to be one
large list.  I've been collecting different lists of smileys as I've found
them and at this point I have 6 major lists which I have now combined into
a single file.  It is a compiled list of all the smileys I've seen so far.
The file is approximately 40k long and the list contains somewhere around
700 different smileys, a number having more than one description in the
different lists I've put together.  From what I've seen so far, this is
the largest collection of smileys around.  If anyone wants to help me out
with information such as how to post it (I'm not certain if I can include
a file in a posting from my newsreader, but I can get it here through my
anonymous account), an FTP site that would be willing to hold the file,
or some other way to make this available, I would appreciate the help.  And
of course, if you have smileys that you haven't seen in any lists yet, you 
can e-mail them to me and if they're not already in my list, I will include 
them in my compilation.  If there is an interest in seeing my complied list
and/or in helping it grow, please let me know, either by e-mail or here.
Thanks for your interest and I hope to hear from you soon.

P.S. -- I've enjoyed seeing the variety of art on this newsgroup and I've
        begun to collect some of them on disk.  Good work everyone!
