Even many of those who accept that the current diversity of emoticons arose as a result of natural processes, with :-) as a common ancestor, wonder why there is a “smilie-friendly” Internet in the first place. Why this Internet, as opposed to some other Internet? Why an Internet at all?

And the answer is, “We don’t know.” But it doesn’t advance the cause of science at all to throw up our hands and say, “Gore did it.”

Unhappily, my analysis of emotilution (the evolution of emoticons) and the question of where the Internet came from and what sustains it, neglected to take into account the key role played by :cheese:, for which correction I am thankful.
