Guide to the Perplexed,Third Edition
This third edition contains selected questions that have been answered since the 1st & 2nd edition. It also includes selected questions that have not been answered as of the time I worked on this edition. This Guide does not purport to include all the questions posted in this thread.

The numbers given are usually by order of the question's posting. However, some questions may not be in the order of their posting as I had inadvertently missed them in the other editions, or I could not find the post where the question was given, but I found the response after I had numbered other questions.

If there are some questions you think I missed or some responses that I got wrong, please post that information.

Thank you!

Well, I've already noticed that #28 and #121 is same. Unless we put number a new question as #121, that will throw all the numbers after 121 off...

So here's a new question: Which Mudcatter coined the name "A Guide To The Perplexed" for the list of Name That Nudcatter questions?

[Maybe using the folk process, the name should be changed to
"A Guide For The Perplexed". What do you think?]

Corrections to the above.

#132 - again I point out that it has not been answered correctly. I posed the original question and know the answer.

#148 - this is incorrect. Pene Azul did not design the logo, and once again I posed the original question and know the answer.

Answers:

#144 - Alan in Australia, who was one of the earliest Mudcatters and contributed mightily to this forum in its infancy.

#150 - Escamillo, from Brazil I believe. Unless you are speaking of the Australian Catters.

#151 - Clarence is known on the Mudcat as Ma In Law, I believe. She is Catspaw's mother in law. She helped keep us up to date during Spawzer's first heart problems we knew about. Talk about a layabout.

No. I posted that question. It is Don Firth. May not have been Ma Bell, might have been GTE, but I think it is the new-and-revitalized MaBell who he slaved for for years.

I explained above that she said this name was homage to the Tolkien hobbits.

Barry and others,

Was there a question "what is the meaning of the name Pene Azul?

If so, I missed it...

If not, what is your 29 Jun 06 - 01:15 AM post and previous posts by others [or you, I'm not sure] that mentioned Pene Azul a response to?

"Pene Azul I assume is the Blue Feather, although I've heard a ruder translation".

-snip-

Maybe one reason why I don't get some of these references [in jokes?] is because I'm still pretty much a newbie here...but that is part of the reason why I started this game-to help introduce Mudcat and Mudcatters to newbies.

But also the reason why I'm asking is that I agree that this thread is getting confusing * and I might have missed the question that prompted the reference to Pene Azul.

* The editions of A Guide [for] The Perplexed are ways to help lessen the confusion about which questions have been answered correctly and which questions still need correct answers.

My request is that when posting an answer to a particular question, if that question already has a number attached to it, please include a cut/paste of that numbered question with your answer-like so:

Also thank you very much for that link you provided. Somehow, I inadvertently didn't include any of those questions.

Unless anyone has a better solution, I guess the best thing would be to assign them the next numbers after the numbers already given in the 3rd edition, and then work from there with any other questions that have been asked since that edition of the Name The Mudcatter Guide.

Sorry for that error.

I also remember asking which Mudcatter came up with the name Guide To the Perplexed for the listing of correct answers. But I think I inadvertently left that question out of the Guide, too.
