What happened to the smilie poll in IMHO and the thread on the topic here in ATMB? I notice no smilie newer than smackie around here, and he predates the latest round of votes.

Did someone change his mind?

In the last post on the first page of [The second great smiley election](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=148441&perpage=50&pagenumber=1), **Arnold Winkelried** said he had to check with the tech people, personified in **Jerry the Tech God** ( **jdavis** ) before they would become available.

wolfstu, thank you for covering my butt. “Checking with jdavis” is a euphemism for “Arnold needs to get off his lazy ass and send the e-mail to jdavis.” Thank you for the nudge Derleth, I’ll remember to do that tonight.
