I wasn't aware it was a contest. I just respond when I think I have
something to say (whether I actually /do/ have anything to say is, of
course, a different issue).

Paul, everything is a contest, always! ;)
P.S.
The symbol “;)” is commonly used in online texts as a form of emoticon, specifically representing a winking face. This emoticon is created using a semicolon followed by a closing parenthesis. The wink can convey various meanings depending on the context in which it is used.
* Playfulness or Humor: The wink often indicates that the sender is joking or being playful. It adds a light-hearted tone to the message, suggesting that what was just said should not be taken too seriously.
* Flirtation: In many contexts, a wink can also imply flirtation or suggestive undertones. When someone uses “;)” in a conversation, it may indicate romantic interest or teasing.
* Sarcasm or Irony: The winking emoticon can also signal sarcasm or irony. If someone makes a statement that could be interpreted as serious but follows it with “;)”, they are likely indicating that they do not mean it literally and are instead being facetious.
* Acknowledgment of Shared Understanding: Sometimes, the wink serves to acknowledge an inside joke or shared understanding between the participants in the conversation, reinforcing camaraderie and connection.
In summary, “;)” generally conveys playfulness, flirtation, sarcasm, or acknowledgment of shared humor, making it a versatile tool in digital communication.
