I've been seeing a trend lately with intellectual property issues to skip the C&D and jump right to filing a suit. It's happened to a few theatres over use of music.

Snerk.

And for the record, there was a listen'n'post 'cause Tim had another radio interview. And Tim himself showed up while he was on hold.

That's like mega-meta, or no, but like when you have a mirror in front of you and a mirror behind you and...wow. I'm dizzy, now. Or still. Or what have you.

I'm not sure if this has been debated before, so forgive me if it's old ground -- but I'm wondering if it would be possible to update or expand the glossary? I'm asking this without really knowing exactly what needs to be expanded -- things like "blipverts" for example? I suppose it would be a terrible pain in the butt to program it like the html/quick-edit pop up works, but that would certainly be helpful to newbies like myself. I've picked up a lot since I started posting, but I often have to ask irritating questions in the middle of conversations if I want to know what's going on. I'd much rather go look it up and not interrupt the flow of the conversation.

I think sometimes the language becomes such second-nature to long-time posters that they forget how confusing it can be. Anyway, no worries if the answer is "No, newbie! Lurk more! Use context clues!" Just thought I'd ask.

Thanks!

I'm working on it for the FAQ - but I can't say I have a huge list of words. And others will undoubtedly think of more than I. Anyone who wants to should send suggestions for ones they know or don't know that they think should be included (including definitions and Nilly'd origins if you know them/can find it). Profile addy, it is good.

I'l list them here when I get to the Dialect section of the FAQ.

Speaking of, and I'm just checking, Jon did you get my e w/the first round of updates?

The glossary is aimed at Buffista specific words -- like foamy, say, and less with the standard internet terms or general pop culture (into which blipvert falls, being a Max Headroom ref).

Or it'd soon become unmanageably huge.

Yes, but my taxes are a priority right now. :)

Taxes, boo.

Kristin, I just ask in thread when I can't place a term. I operate under the assumption that it is a pop culture reference that I have missed along the road.

Buffistas are very kind and rarely make me feel like a stupidhead for asking.

Sounds good - thank you.
