I guess I have a tendency to mirror the chatting style of whomever I'm talking to. So if he goes "heh" a lot, so do I, and if he uses capitals and proper punctuation, I might too. I don't normally punctuate my chat conversations, as I don't consider chat to be a true written medium (to me it is essentially a form of speech). This is how I came to terms with things such as "lol" and smileys. Forum posts are a different matter to me, although I do use smileys, since they have become so integrated into our digital communicative culture that not using them is a statement in itself.
Uhm. So yeah, "heh" doesn't really bother me. One of my best friends uses it constantly. I've only seen him use "haha" once in the 5 years I've talked to him online. And he's still a friend (and he just bought a banjo, I mean how freakin' cool is that).
Jam it back in, in the dark.
