Disable auto-rendering of smilies

[M. Demetrius]

Regardless of the findings, I have it installed and usable. I just don't like IE, so I use Fox. Before that, I always used Netscape Navigator. Smaller, easier, and not needing constant "security" updates. I distrust Microsoft since I found they skim information about your browsing/searching habits and use that to tailor your advertising input. A browser should just take you around the web, if you ask me.

But let's get back to smilies? I use them once in a while, and it's a good way to make the difference between intonation that we can't readily see from words.
