I do. In your post, not when replying :) , neither yours nor mine.
The point I tried to make earlier is that it depends on the mail reader 
of the person *reading*. You don't have an influence on it. You type a 
colon followed by a bracket, that is what you sent and what is supported 
by NNTP. After that somebody is trying to cleverly replace them by 
rotated smileys, which is OK as long as they get it right :/
IIRC they have problems with exotic ones like \o/ perhaps because they 
can conceivably be in a real post or in /ASCII art/.

In short, there is a big chance that what you will see is not what I 
wrote. Perhaps it is what I intended.
