Here's the thread to discuss the BBspot Mailbag. Questions, comments or your own BBeliever stories.

you should keep a BBeliever thermomether, to mesure the amount of Esenam Ayele believers...

Hmm good idea, but they don't always include an amount do they? # of BBelievers wouldn't be too hard though

This has been bothering me ever since you changed it from Believers to BBelievers. BBspot is Brian Briggs Spot. Wouldn't it be Brian Briggs Believers? Therefore, it should be BBBelievers?

Technically you're right, but I'm going more for the double-B look and not necessarily the grammatically correct version.

It is more aesthetically pleasing as BBelievers. But, as I said, it was just something that has been bothering me since the first change. Just something I have wanted to say.

I see your point, but then it'd have to be BBBoard, BBBlog, etc... Three B's is just too much. Smile

Aesthetically, I agree. For proper initialization, it should have the three B's.
That way, you end up with such things as BBlinks, BBpersonals, etc..

People would wonder if I'm the Better Business Bureau Smile

I am surprised that no one has ever emailed me about it. I mean this is a geek site.

Sounds like a good topic for your next article. See how many bbelievers you can get. See if you get any complaints about other websites. "I sent Esenam Ayele all of my money for the transfer taxes. He hasn't sent me all of his money yet! Help me get his money!" <voiceover> "Has this happened to you? Register your complaint with the Better Business Spot. The online complaints department of the Better Business Bureau* for all online business dealings".

* - Not affiliated with the Better Business Bureau, or any other similar agency. Any complaints sent will result in ridicule.

There's something pleasing about BBthis and BBthat. I wonder if it's somehow related to the BB-sound of BooBies?

Hmm... Boobiespot.com?

That could work. Especially if our webmaster wanted to get into porn.
Seems to be available.

Regarding the March 21st, 2007 Mailbag...

Black and White wrote:

People on MySpace make baby Punctuation Jesus cry. Not a single period or comma in there. I felt like I was reading an IM from my mother-in-law.
