nm is useful if you find you’ve posted right after a mod said, “Don’t bring guns into a thread that’s got nothing to do with guns” and you’ve posted, “You can get a lot further with a restraining order and a gun that you can on a restraining order alone.” ---

> [@Leo\_Bloom](#): > > I… Whats’s the wording on “#f8f8f8” as opposed to “white?” As you’ve learned, not all of the 16 million definable HTML colors have names. Good thing that. It’d even crazier than the seemingly thousands of cutesy names for colors that house paint companies come up with. e.g. What color, exactly, is “desert ecru” and how does it compare to “warm happy day?” ---

It’d even crazier than the seemingly thousands of cutesy names for colors that house paint companies come up with. e.g. What color, exactly, is “desert ecru” and how does it compare to “warm happy day?” I once saw one named “Time Machine”. 😕 It was a shade of white. nm ---

Before the five-minute edit window, there was no nm. Once you posted, like it or not, everybody minded. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nm-posts/736229.md?page=1)
