You do realize what TFTSNBN stands for, right? And after I've just gotten through explaining to you how -vital- and basically all-around important that it remain anonymous is, you go and post its name! Now that information is waiting in the back-up tapes of a thousand ISPs, just ready and no doubt willing to betray us at every turn. I'm not just talking spammers; I'm talking about the crux of the impure, the complete and total wastes of genetic material. I'm talking about: newbies.
That's right, newbies. That unsung horror that pervades every aspect of every technology ever since Og came up with the wheel. If we keep it quiet enough, most ISPs won't carry it because froups have to meet a certain requirement for bandwidth/mo. But if you go and shout out it's name like that, newbies the world over will go searching for it -- and, when they can't find it, they'll whine and complain to every tech they can find until they're satisfied.
Do you want to be responsible for making a tech supporter's life a living hell?
I thought not.
Unsend! Unsend!
