Hehe, thanks..hmm I like your Klingon smiley..I usually use
//
|{{:( But I think that yours is better because it is smaller...
\\

Oh right...
Hmm, I should've been able to do that..I'm ashamed of myself :)

Heheh, I like that one too...

Yeah, I had figured out that ngan meant something along those lines...
Okay, I have saved all thoughs explanations you kindly did into a text file
so don'tget grouchy that I haven't said much about them :)
