More than 7 or 8 parentheses on each side is inappropriate unless you know the person reasonably well and have hugged a few times before, or are very excited about seeing that particular person.

Rumor has it that more than 3 brackets on either side is considered gratuitous hugging.

I give hug to you anyway, even if it is against the rules. I guess there is a rebel in me. Sometimes you can go for what feels right. : )

I mostly (but not always) wait until someone else posts one for me before posting one in return, because I don't want anyone to think I'm some crazy 'net stalker. But I'd rather just post them indiscriminately all the time, because I'm a.... crazy 'net stalker lol

Awww! ((((Tom))))
