Folks, uhh....is it just me or are we seeing an overproliferation of
FASA-style "slang"? I mean really: "frag off, chummer!" I _sort_ of
doubt it.
And now an entire flamewar about the semantics of the term "nova", when in
fact the term is just so much FASA-inspired "drek", without any basis in
current lingual usage. What ever happened to honest profanity?
