What smug?

You said that if I asked people not to talk about it, they would
automatically stop. I've been on the nets a long time, and that sort
of thing is so unlikely as to engender the response I noted. Hence my
question.

As if my saying, "Now, stop that" would work.

How much power do you think I have?

The problem isn't what I'm saying, it's your sensitivity over
it.
