Rule 0: Yes, Dorothy, you should put the smiley in.
Reasons (if we want them):
If I can't hear your tone of voice, I can't spot you're taking
the piss. Then we waste electrons working out whether or not you
are.
If my first language is not the list first language, then I'm
working hard enough to understand your text, without you
obfuscating vital components of the meaning.
Gnus draws a very pretty smiley in the text when you put one
in. They please me.

cheers, Rich.
