We read logs of previous cachers to see what the cache is like and how some cachers enjoyed it. We read previous logs to sometimes get a clue if we cannot find the cache. As cache owners we want to see what you thought of the cache and what your experience was.
So, what is with the TFTH and the :)? Is it laziness? Is it not knowing what to say?
Even I have been guilty of short logs. But then again I have some really long and good logs. The shortest was on a cache where the cache log had been deleted by the owner.

I confess I do cut and paste when I have a lot of logs to write but I do try to add some individual words to the cache log especially if there is something noteworthy. Sometimes it is just about the find or the conditions etc.
We do expect to get the occasional :) or TFTH but it seems to be becoming a trend. I notice it more and more and have even emailed the finder and asked if he could include a few more words in his online log. It seems like not even replying to that is also a symptom of something nowadays.
