This is the net convention for a "smiley face". It means that
something is being said in jest. If it doesn't look like a smiley
face to you, flop your head over to the left and look again.
Variants exist and mean related things; for instance, :-( is sad.
Collections of smileys are posted to various newsgroups from
time to time. One was posted to comp.sources.misc in v23i102.
