What does RTMS stand for?
That question is more complex than they realize. Much more complex. It started innocently enough, but throughout the years has taken a life of its own. The best, if not necessarily accurate, answer came to us from legendary commenter Wes: Read The Many Scripts. For it is one thing to know what it stands for, but a different thing to understand what it stands for. To achieve a state of full understanding, one must spend many Wednesdays naked in front of a computer screen (that’s just how I imagine Frilly reads BSNYC) rummaging through endless posts, following many a link, and reading innumerable comments by douchebags such as myself. In this fast paced world, a simple rip
Don’t be a Mackey: do your research, study.

Torn, ant1, torn. Jesus, if this is going to be The Source we'd better get his alter ego right.
thanks wes. like I said, this will be a group project.
wes - you've got full admin.
It’d be nice if people could make suggestions as to what topics need to be covered. I suck at putting links, or pics, in, so if someone with a little more skill than me could add an AHYSMB post, complete with links to the original BSNYC post, as well as a pic of the now famous rim, I would appreciate it.
Crabon - not just a typo.
and of course, salmon...and fenders/eyebrows
Should we not leave thorn as thorn and then strikethrough, put torn, to show The Way is littered with pitfalls and pratfalls and typos? Shall I do that? Can people see this? Is this what they call a word processor?
great. another site to waste more time than I care to acknowledge. One observation (so far): if you are merely going to define things with a simple "RTFMS", why bother? Love the concept, but not sure it will get legs, or rims as may be more appropriate.

I don't know what you mean. RTMS, no F, is the abbreviation. The definition is in the post, lovingly crafted by ant1.
wes - go for it
sorry... RTFMS is 'read the fucking manual stupid'. I mean no disrespect. It seems that while ant1 did clarify the acronym, he still said, ultimately, you have to read the blog to know the blog. I think that the concept of an index to the blog is an interesting one, the amount of wiki-snob-pedia that would be needed, is mind boggling. Besides, BSNYC-RTMS is only gone for a week.
G - it will probably be a lifelong endeavor. Even if it only lasts a week, it beats doing work.
i can't argue with that, and, really, why would I want to?
best of luck to all and will contribute what I can.

No disrespect taken.
Left my shell off there and got my naivete all exposed. Who'd have thought RTFMS would crop up in an RTMS post?
Next thing, someone'll assume crabon is just a misspelling of carbon, amateurs.
pick me!!!!
