Oh dear, oh dear oh dear oh dear.

Of course seeing how letters can come together to make pictures is going to
look cool to a 12/f. I've seen my sister sending her friends variants on
little pictures of mice <:3)~ many, many times. If you think this is new to
us, you're sadly mistaken. But it's a long, long distance from preferring it
to drawn pictures when looking for Care Bear art.

IRC is real-time. You can't type as fast as you think, so you use
abbreviations to 'talk' more quickly.

With Usenet, you have as much time as you want to write your post. So if you
want people to take time for you, you should take time for them.
