Something to ponder.
Plus there is the problem of what is too emotional to each person. I imagine I (and possibly pbutton may be closer to my end of the scale) am on one far end as to what on the scale of showing/having emotion is too much or too little. I find those little icon things to be too much expression of emotion for me to use (plus I almost never know which one means what). For me, "that was not terrible" is almost over the top praise. To others, that would be tepid at best.
Thanks for this!
