daily rumor mill #34

I appreciate the rumor mill, but being an outsider the initials make it difficult to make sense of much of what you post. Is it absolutely necessary for you to use initials rather than names?

Amen, brother. How about at least a first name and last initial?

New stories about AD's big move over to the RF yesterday. doughboy reports that the move allows her more freedom to feed from the Noetic (and other) trough(s), along with VF, KB, LG, etc. The financial rewards for her could exceed what she had before as VP. Thanks doughboy. 2. Word now that LSM is absolutely giddy about AD's big move yesterday. The boy-to-girl ratio in the dome is just perfect for her now. Look for her to limit JB's access to the fellas in the future. Thanks domer and ntsft. 3. Though SFT still seems high on the PUC, with AD gone a shift in his thinking on the usefulness of the group could be in wings. domer says to look for him to "tire" of the matter some time in the next couple of months. 4. With AD's big move yesterday, SFT is reported to have fulfulled all of RK's and AW's requests of him. Look for things to begin "rolling" again in August. Thanks notsft. "

I think full names would be easier, too (even those who know USM well have difficulties at times). Here's my attempted translation:

AD: Angie Dvorak

RF: Research Foundation

VF: Vance Flosenzier

KB: Kelli Booth

LG: Les Goff

LSM: Lisa Slay Mader

JB: Janet Braswell???

RK: Roy Klumb
AW: Amy Whitten??

Very cute! If there are no other nominations for today's Mr. Wonderful quote of the day, I would like to formally nominate Ram's "r=ram"!

And for those who may not remember, I coined "Kenbot" and got a first runner-up for it from Webster!

But to give credit where it is due for the original concept, someone from the coast had referred to him as a "robot" - I don't remember who the poster was now.
