This topic has been opened to recieve an off-topic thread from the Newbie Forum.

Do a search for 'ghoti' for a start, and you'll find an AL thread or two that touch upon much the same stuff that's, er, been touched upon over on the Newbie forum; I was going to mention this there, but look at the reception you got.
