Hello --

An anthropologist friend of mine is intrigued by Mr Usenet Smiley
and his pals :-) and is told that somewhere there exists a complete
list of them all -- and even scholarly papers on the these symbols
and the broader subject of usenet customs and other bizarre social
phenomena.  Can anyone help me out with pointers or references or
hints or clues or what-have-you?

Many thanks.
