Same smile emoticon It's an amazing freedom when you stop
  worrying "Uh oh, what IMPRESSION am I giving off when I say
  this?" because you _know_ the impression you'd intending to
  give, and you do your best to be understandable, useful, and
  convey your intentions properly.

  I have positive intentions for everybody I communicate with. I
  don't necessarily know _more_ than anybody; in fact, I
  anticipate learning something from each person I encounter. But
  given a chance, I'll happily explain things and try to do so in
  a way that comprehensible to the audience, I make myself as
  enjoyable read/listen to as I can, and I stay positive.
