Just wanted to drop in and say hi. Am continuing to write.

God bless.

Just genuinely curious! I spent some time on Voat years ago, but didn't notice the usage.
Thank you for your open answer on the original usage. You've piqued my curiosity for the new usage, but you don't have to answer if you'd be uncomfortable.
Thank you for your time!
Oh -- I did answer, just follow that link! :)
And, remembered a third reason they were initially chosen: because it is difficult to tell a search engine, "search for this search term with parentheses around it." If you are searching using regex (regular expressions) then you could do it as "(term)" to search for "term" with one set of parens around it.
And want to be clear, I wasn't "casting aspersions" at you by saying "I'm not exactly certain how I should take this input" -- I was just "sharing some of my processing" as it were. Everything is input, processing, and output. :)
You are welcome, God bless!
