BTW, Lava, since you and I
BTW, Lava, since you and I have spoken about the old messed up smilies before, here's some history Joe told me about the editor.
The FCKeditor was the free editor you can download and use on your site, and CKeditor had to be purchased, so it makes sense that Cameron used that one when he built the site.
Somewhere, FCKeditor started becoming more and more incompatible with whatever components/modules/files out there (including ours), and people started to complain.
However it happened, Drupal started allowing the CKeditor to be downloaded for free, probably to hush up all the complaints. So, when Joe migrated and cleaned the site, we found that FCKeditor was no longer being supporter and has been removed as a download, thank goodness, and had to download CKeditor. So far, CKeditor is working well for us.
