What does BS stand for?
And why do we stand for it?

"BS:" on the Cat basically stands for what would be labeled "OT:" on most other forums. in other words - Off-topic from the main thrust of the forum.

Now I always thought it referred to that good ole US pastime where the menfolk sit around late into the night talking and imbibing large quantities of what passes for beer in the States.

I was told they were called Bull Sessions.

I suppose it depends how one views the Topics, it can be the..
Babble section
Backbiting section
Battle section
Bewitching section
Bewildering section
Billeous section
Bemusing section
Bloody stunning
or
the plain old Boring section

That is the way it goes down in the BS
Make or make not of it what you will:)
