Default Yawn

Mods - Would it be possible to add a "yawn" smiley to the smilies/icon box?

Useful for - this is boring, this is very repetitive, etc.

No big deal if it can't be done.

Cheers

Heh. There are some here who hate smileys who shall remain nameless. Asking for another is very game of you.

On the yawn smiley, I would wonder whether some would use it simply as a means of 'getting back' at others or using it to stifle conversation.

Well, I am brave.

On the other hand, it's no big deal.

(But I can't see how it inherently stifles conversation anymore than a or a or a , not to mention a - it's all a matter of context. Then there's the implications of rule #3 to consider ...)

You should talk to DB, he has started some sort of organisation to promote the use of smileys here.
