Okay, against my better judgment (as this is a tiny bit off-topic), I
nevertheless just *have* to say this.
What really does the second "O" stand for? Because in various
manifestos by Anal P. Lardbottom (John Walton) it's the League Of
obsessIVE Nitpickers, later on became the League Of OVERLY-ObsessIVE
Nitpickers and now appears to have devolved into the League Of
ObsessED Nitpickers. (Neil isn't the only one who's called it this
either.)
I just find it moderately amusing that our most characteristically
detail-oriented friends can't keep their own name straight. <vbg>
Love ya!
