Hi Andrew,
Well, they're supposed to be accurate to what happens in real life. For example, when you
cry, you don't just cry for one second and it's over, there's more to it, as such, why the
crying goes on forever.
Whereas, when you wink at someone, you don't keep doing it, you just do it once -- just like
the emoticon.
This isn't official information, this is just my opinion =).
