I'm glad that you posted here. I think, somewhere I've read that you are not the biggest fan of emoticons so I actually try to avoid them in responses to your posts (I guess that's when I realize how often I actually want to use them).
But last time when I wrote something silly about you being a spy who learns all Ts' tricks to be able to teach afterwards your students about them, I would normally add an emoticon "

" to be sure that you'd know that I'm just kidding and not thinking that you are a terrible person who just fakes the whole therapy to be able to use it against all Ts or whatever (we never know how crazy one's thinking might be). Instead, I just had to add one sentence that I didn't want to offend you anyhow, which actually I also find a bit ridiculous as I imagine that you can get my weird sense of humor and might find it weird that I explain everything - I'm over-analyzing, huh?
Thus, could you let me know, if I should add this one sentence whenever I'm kidding, you would prefer if I'm not kidding with respect to your person/posts or can I assume that you already know that my sense of humor might be "extraordinary" to not say it poor?
