Thanks for moving this over to the correct forum. I’m new to all of this, so I did not know about MPSIMS. What does that stand for? I only recently learned about Straight Dope Message Board from a post over at Rotten Tomatoes.

Still learning.

Stuff that is not a general question looking for _an_ answer. (GQ)

Stuff that is not a question looking for lots of answers. (a poll IMHO)

Stuff that is not about art or entertainment. (Cafe Society)

Stuff that is not about bitching about the world or the board (the pit)

Stuff that is not about how to do something on the board. (About this message board)

Welcome aboard.
