No, Chris, I hadn't seen this one before, and it sure is a cute one. However, most emoticons read top to the left, which leaves this heart in a potentially sad position. And E> doesn't really cut it, either. :( We could use 8> although when I see that one, I'm reminded of Big Bird for some reason. ;) :*:':*:':*:':*:':*:':*:':*:':*:':*:':*:':*: -Varian- "I do what I do and I sure have fun." :*:.:*:.:*:.:*:.:*:.:*:.:*:.:*:.:*:.:*:.:*:
