This is where the mystic arts stuff kicks in, right? Internet programming is really done with stinky herbs and Latin, I bet.

Those noises you hear when you dial up? The dying squeals of an electronic sacrificial goat. Also known as putting the 'die' in 'dial up'.
Sorry. I'm probably over-excited about having had time to finish a thread. t /natter

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Internet programming is like regular programming, really, only with more newt.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Would this be a good time to mention again how much I hate the use of the term MARCIE for the user filter? The character in question was a tragic one, and I really dislike the thought of applying that concept to people who annoy us.
I realize it doesn't actually matter to me in practical application since I won't be using the filter, but I would like to again discourage the practice. I know there are those who disagree with this and think it's cute, but I say, let's say user filter. It's a straightforward term for a functional application.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
What Liese said. I've always hated the name MARCIE.
(FTR, I hated ENUF too -- needless cute acronyms make my teeth itch, and I'd much rather just call it a filter. But MARCIE is even worse, for the reason Liese articulates way better than I can.)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I like user filter myself. They always get nicknamed, anyway. i.e., "bozofilter" at TT. Which, actually I loved, but that wasn't it's actual name. I plump for user filter.

What is even happening?

Yes, and well... what if it turned out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. We ignore someone to the extent that s/he goes wacky and starts killing us, only nobody can see what is going on and um...
Yeah. Put me in the, I'd-like-to-call-it-a-user-filter corner.

Or a blinvisibility button

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I kind of like blinvisibility button, but I'm also fine with user filter. No strong feelings for or against MARCIE, but I guess I'm leaning a tiny bit more towards against.

Oh. That Marcie. Winning the record for Took the Longest to Get the Reference.
I like just calling it a filter.

Our wings are not tired.
I probably won't use it because I am adept at glazing over annoying posts, but I like blinvisibility as a filter name.
