It seems only fair to mention the many, many people who have contributed to smiley lore either by
inventing new smilies that have since become well-known, by compiling lists of smilies, or by
contributing to lists of smilies compiled by others. To them all, a sincere thank you. Among those
whose names I have come across in compiling these pages - some from as far back as the 1980's - are
the following:
Crystal Augustus, Martin Aune, Susan Bacon, James Bach, J.T. Barber, Joshua Bell, Robert Brandon,
W. Bumgardner, C. Cagle, James Cameron, Kelly Christiansen, Howard Chu, Paul Cook, Peter Courtney,
Rod Cox, Giolla Decair (whose fault these pages are), John Dray, Paal D. Ekran,
Scott Fahlman (who first used a smiley), Mike Forrester, Joan Friedman, Orville Fudpucker (?),
Dan Gervais, Alain Golan-Goldberg, Ady Gould, Sergio Greco, Charles Guest, Manuel Ramos Gullon,
Don Hooper, Don Hopkins, Ric Hotchkiss, Kevin Johnson, Ken Kleiner, Dave Konkel, Sean Lambert,
Frederic Lefevre, Li Sun, Maarten Litmaath, Helwig Loeffelmann (compiler of "Helwig's Smiley Dictionary"),
R.J. Lynn, Josh Mandel, James Marshall, Matthew Marshall, Mike McEwan, Craig McLaughlin, Alastair Millar,
Jonathan Milton, Corwyn Miyagishima, Lorenzo Patocchi, Sally Neuman, Y. Pecht, M. Raccah, Adrienne Reiss,

Jennifer Swift, Chip Thomas, Jerome Thorel, Reinder Verlinde, Matthew Wiener, Tobias Wilberg, Martha Wile,

As far as I can tell, they come from Australia, Austria, France, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway,
Spain, the UK, the USA... and of course, Cyberia!
