Unknown to the good captain Tabouli, a great grey shadow proyects over 
her ship. At the top of a nearby fjord, a grey wolf spies on her 
movements, watching with a wolfish grin her belief in her spy network. 
Fortunately, she hasn't yet realized that there is no such thing as an 
"All Seeing Eye". The moon is high, and the great wolf rises his muzzle 
to bay triumphantly to the moon. One acronym has bypassed her security 
measures! Some day, not today, nor tomorrow, but some day, he'll be 
able to discover how TAGS works, and he'll be able to build his own 
version (operable by paws, of course).

Which means: Tabouli, you missed one of the acronyms that popped up 
while you were away. It was proposed by my adversary in the discussion 
of elves's enslavement (nº 37112), Laura (which was nice of her, since 
it's the acronym for MY theory, which she didn't believe in):

Laura proposed:
> E.N.S.L.A.V.E.M.E.N.T (Elves Need Slavery Least Aggression and 
> Violence Erupt, Making Extinction Near Threat)
> 
> laura

I wouldn't like one of my theories to be lost, and I know that you take 
good care of acronyms, so as long as the acronym survives, my theory 
will continue to live (although, in this case, maybe can(n)on will sink 
it in the next books).

Hope that helps,

Grey Wolf, who would like to know how many inches are in a foot, since, 
it being an english measure, it cannot be simply 10 in = 1 ft. In words 
of Terry Pratchett:
	
	NOTE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AND AMERICANS: One shilling = Five Pee. It 
helps to understand the antique finances of the Witchfinder Army if you 
know the original British monetary system:
        Two farthings = One Ha'penny. Two ha'pennies = One Penny. Three 
pennies = A Thrupenny Bit. Two Thrupences = A Sixpence. Two Sixpences = 
One Shilling, or Bob. Two Bob = A Florin. One Florin and one Sixpence = 
Half a Crown. Four Half Crowns = Ten Bob Note. Two Ten Bob Notes = One 
Pound (or 240 pennies). One Pound and One Shilling = One Guinea.The 
British resisted decimalized currency for a long time because they 
thought it was too complicated.
