Sometimes, the best kind of statements come up during impromptu g-talk conversations.
One such is as follows, and was put by Abe, (like in Abhimanyu, as opposed to a dead ex-US President):
I wish I could get a firefox extension to convert short-hand text like ’4u’ to ‘for you’
To stoke the fire furthermore, Monkee had his two paise to add to the profound observation (and I paraphrase here to eliminate esoteric lingo):
You should have a selective smiley filter. Guy to guy talk doesn’t require smileys, whereas smileys should be employed selectively in case of talking to certain womans.
At the same time, eliminate smileys from other womans whose smileys you don’t want to see. If its a guy to guy conversation, nuke smileys altogether.
Or something to that effect.
I love the internet.
