Message-ID: <495@vaxine.UUCP> Date: Sat, 9-Mar-85 18:20:15 EST Article-I.D.: vaxine.495 Posted: Sat Mar 9 18:20:15 1985 Date-Received: Mon, 11-Mar-85 06:54:48 EST Organization: Automatix, Inc., Billerica, MA Lines: 11 Lest the original (and superior) interpretation be entirely displaced by the "smiley face" nerd-legions, let us remember that it ( :-) ) used to be a graphic symbol for "tongue-in-cheek" (last year, anyway).
