It may be all my fault. It may not be. I suggested it, and I believe I was the first to do so, in [Feature Request](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=318689). Then again, Cecil, or Tuba may have been planning to put this feature in prior to my asking for it, and my request had no part in the decision. ::shrug::

Prior to this, I said things like “I see extreme hypocrisy in the case of The V.P. Whoops, I mean, in the case of some people.” This amounts to much the same thing, but takes fewer words.

(Hi, Tuba! 😃 )

My computer sees the various smileys the old way. As a result, it looks different. Just can’t believe I’d forgotten that y’all changed. :smack:
