I am not sure what point you are trying to make here. Likely any browser
would categorize this thread under the general heading of "moon". Perhaps a
lot of disgruntled navigators/lunarians will cue into the *&^%$~@ descriptor
because it resonates with them.
In any case, I was hoping for one of your illuminating bits of wisdom, not a
dressing down for my flippancy in choosing a thread name.
Keep in mind that this is a discussion forum, not the halls of academia.
