Unfortunately, we on .com are still exactly where we were, stuck with a set of replacement smilies that nobody bothered to ask or warn us about, and content whose meaning has been subtly altered by the substitution of another emoticon (an eyeroll is NOT a raspberry, unless you are particularly socially challenged); twiddling our thumbs until somebody can code a fix for something that wasn't broken.

To replace our smilies, we would have to edit every individual post containing them; and even then, we're stuck with what we're given in comments. If nothing else, it's been a salutary reminder that you can't consider your content your own unless you're hosting it yourself.
