Reminds me of that classic New Yorker cartoon that goes: "On the internet no one knows you're a dog".

Whilst we're on the topic, here is a quote from Yes Minister (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes_minister):

"The identity of the official whose alleged responsibility for this hypothetical oversight has been the subject of recent discussion is not shrouded in quite such impenetrable obscurity as certain previous disclosures may have led you to assume, but, not to put too fine a point on it, the individual in question is, it may surprise you to learn, one whom your present interlocutor is in the habit of defining by means of the perpendicular pronoun."

blinkblink··on Tabs - even Chrome hasn't fixed this problem
