RE: From whence cometh www.fnord.demon.co.uk?
From: Andy Wardley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 11 January 2001 13:57 Is anyone here responsible for www.fnord.demon.co.uk, or know someone who is? I used to hang around with the MTCP groupies, but haven't spoken to any of them for some time. You might get more information from the slightly-more-official http://www.mtcp.co.uk or the mailing list http://www.mtcp.co.uk/online/list/join.html. It's really only a matter of curiosity[1]. I was drawn there after last night's Mark Thomas Product on Channel 4 and noticed a cryptic Perl 3 liner (which I couldn't get to work) prominently placed on a front page. http://www.fnord.demon.co.uk/mt/fifth/ Some time later on the same site I came across a reference to Mark being a "Meeja Hor" and it rung a London.pm bell. The Mark Thomas usage came first. A couple of years ago, he wore t-shirts with weird slogans on for each show. A couple of them were 'Meeja Hor' and 'Mor Hor'. The first was obviously ripe for appropriation and lengthening (a kind of "Embrace and Extend"). [1] Although I would like to suggest a version of the site that doesn't require various plugins. And, especially, a version that _doesn't_ insist on playing horrible midi files at you on every page :( Dave... -- The information contained in this communication is confidential, is intended only for the use of the recipient named above, and may be legally privileged.

I half heartedly contemplated installing the plugin, but it turns out that I need to register with AOL/Netscape before I can download it.
