so pardon the simple question, but duing my many absences from the board I must have missed this one. MMP = Monday Morning Post? Is there some set rotation or is it a free pile on? ---

Maybe the people who make these MMP threads can explain it in the 1st post, so we don’t forever have a thread every couple days asking what that means? ---

> [@swampbear](#): > > Or the inquiring mind could just, oh, I dunno, post in the MMP thread and ask? That’s what I did. But obviously others don’t think to do that, since every couple days we’re getting someone starting a new thread to ask. It sounds fairly simple for the poster to put “MMP=Monday morning post” in the OP. Is that really a lot to ask? A sticky would work too. ---

Is that really a lot to ask? A sticky would work too. But…but… that’d be like logical and sorta kinda like a rule and we’re so unruly over at the MMP and all. Geez, logic. Now my head hurts. ---

I was going to move this to ATMB, but it’s already been answered, so I’ll close it and link to the latest MMP thread already in progress. [Ovar Har](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=349146).
