Subject: RE: Mudcat jargon and 'inside' jokes
Yeah, but I LIKE those terms. I've started using Blue Clicky Thing in my own world now. And as for the other references, I don't think I saw the original thread for any of them, but I have figured them all out from context.

It's a little confusing sometimes, but not in a frightening way. But then, some of us welcome uncertainty more than others. Part of my heritage from the '60s. ;-}

Maybe we could start a "Silly FAQs" somewhere ... But I hope we don't start censoring our silliness because it confuses newcomers. I've only been around since May, so I'm not exactly an old-timer. But after a few times sitting back saying, "What the hell are these people talking about?" I saw it as an invitation to some high-grade (and sometimes ultra-low-grade) silliness, which, given how serious the rest of my life is, was a most welcomed diversion.

BTW -- I still haven't figured out how to make the blue clicky things that link to other sites. But -- my life is rich and full, so maybe I'll live without that particular skill...
