Just because you arnt worried about it it does not mean other people arnt
and that they shouldnt have the right to protect their privacy not to
mention security. Also hosting the emoticons on j.o servers will waste lots
of j.o's bandwidth when it does not need to be. Also doing emoticons in a
better way than yours does not introduce any of these problems in the first
place.
