My favorite recipe (http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/3090) has both cinnamon and cocoa. Wouldn't be the same without either. But I don't know about other recipes.
I'm not married to cinnamon in my chili, but I always appreciate it. My mom has two recipes, one with cinnamon and one without. I love both, it just sort of depends on my mood.
I have no comment on the chilli front (although I always add a bit of powdered chocolate - does that count), I just wanted to say how much I love your icon. Those were the days, sigh.
