Yes, you are missing out on a lot. "What?" I hear people ask. Well, that's really quite simply explained. Umm, that should be ekspliained. Sorry, make that ekspliained then. Yes, that's better. Thank you. You're welcome. Anyway, as I was _trying_ to say... Well, I just thought I'd point that out. Yes, and I corrected it, didn't I? Now, if I could continue? Oh, yes, quite. Go on ahead then. Thank you. I... You're welcome. Do you mind? Oops, sorry about that agiain. Now, then, what is going on in TFTSNBN is very close to what is going on here, in afda. It is? Yes, it is, and I was about to explain why - ekspliain! Right, right, sorry. Well, I like seeing things written out that way. I understand. The campaign, and all, you know. Yes, well, if I can continue to ekspliain, then? Go on ahead, don't let me stop you. I'll try not to. Now, as I was ekspliaining, afda is currently going very wierd by everyone posting an incredible amount. Now, you think that's weird, and that the froupies doing the posting are weird - they are, you know. Yes, I know. Ekscept for us, of course. Yes, yes, well everyone can't be as sane as we are. True, true. Now, may I? Oh! Yes, of course, how silly of me. - and you are probably correct. However, the posts provide an outlet of the oddities of the froupies, don't you know. They can post things here, and then go out to lead mostly sane lives. But, why should we horde the insanity? I don't know, why should we? That was a rhetorical question! Well, there's no need to get snippity, I was just curious, was all. Fine, then! We shouldn't horde the insanity! But I though you said... I did ask why we should, as a rhetorical question, so that I may answer by saying we shouldn't! But that doesn't make any sense! Not as it's written now, it doesn't. But it will be better, honest. Well, I'm not sure. Take things this way, then: the froupies are insane, so they'll understand the insane writing, ok? Ok. Now, then, we shouldn't horde the insanity, but should spread it around. However, there is too much of a tradition of insanity in this froup to just stop it. However, TFTSNBN is new, and doesn't really have much of a tradition. Therefore, it is fair game for the devious plot we've develop. A devious plot? Yes, don't you remember? The one where we don't post, so that we spread the insanity around in real life? Oh, yes, quite, that one. Quite devious. I thought so, which is why I labeled it as such. It's a good label. Yes, it is. However, I haven't told Matt about it yet. Oh, then go right ahead. Don't let me interrupt. I'm trying not to, trust me. So, Matt, it's all part of the devious plot to spread insanity in real life, by not having the relief of posting in TFTSNBN. Now, that doesn't mean there are no posts at all, because we aren't able to just go cold turkey. However, it seems that we are making a rather good concerted attempt, anyway.
All that said, I recommend getting TFTSNBN, so you can participate in this plan as well. As do I! Good, I thought I'd have your support. You do, you do. Ekscept for that crazy plan to - Hey! I thought we agreed not to mention that plan in public. This isn't public, is it? Yes, we're still typing on a usenet post. Oh! Well, then, we'll discuss this later. Fine. Later it is.

Caleb - Yes, try the pointy thing. Just be careful in the tickling.

It is, in short, The Crap That Someone Needs Before Noon. This acronym/abbreviation/whatever-it-is is often used in everyday places, such as work. In fact, I use it a lot.
However, if you had asked about TFTSNBN, well, then you would have to listen to a whole 'nother story. But be relieved, you didn't; and be doubly-relieved that, if you look around hard enough in the current messages, you can find an approximate answer to your question. So I don't have to bother answering it with something that is not, in fact, an answer.
