    More often than not yes. But it can also mean "Your post is too stupid/ignorant to reply to in a clear and articulate manner so I'm not going to bother"

    .

    Actually, do you not think it's a virtual recreation of the instability of language itself (pour example, bold meaning bad in Ireland but brave in America)?

    We all get by on a bizarre kinda consensus meaning for the most part, if you think about it. Another example being I'm told never to use "problem" to americans either (apparently, a "small problem" does not exist in some parts).

    Stop that, you should not go post-structuralist in the feedback forum, recipe for disaster.

    It has a double meaning. One being that you are being condescending, and two being that you are self aware of your own arrogance and/or ignorance.

    It's a nostalgia smiley.

    Ah I remember the nineties...a blissful decade. The Simpsons was still funny, Eurovision wins were bankrupting the country, 'girl power' was a frightening and sexy concept, Ronaldo was a funny-looking Brazilian chap and Y2K would be the end of us all.

    Those were the days. :rolleyes:

    When you say it like that the smiley does actually take on that new meaning. I generally don't use smilies. I lurk more than I troll. What ever that particular smily did mean originally I think the fact that you have to type "rolleyes" in between the colons to make it in the default skin (I use the cloud skin) leads people to believe that it is the rollyeyes smily.
