Apropos character limits: maybe you could stop counting (2001) etc. towards the 80 character limit in submissions?

Because a few times I have left out the year since I couldn't find a good shorter title, and then you added the year afterwards. I would have done that myself. :-)

We can't get around that limit any more than you can!

Currently the only thing that's allowed to exceed the limit is "[pdf]" but yes, it should probably include "(year)" and "[video]".
