1. Googling, I conclude that I recollected incorrectly. I must have misread the title years ago, and it stuck.

2. The Acronym Finder defines MPSIMS as “Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share”. [MPSIMS - Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share | AcronymFinder](http://www.acronymfinder.com/Mundane-Pointless-Stuff-I-Must-Share-%28MPSIMS%29.html) So if we call it anything else, we will be misusing this widely accepted abbreviation. See also: [MPSIMS - What does MPSIMS stand for? The Free Dictionary](http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/MPSIMS)

3. Kidding.

4. Though here are other usage examples:  
Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share  
[The Gaming Den - Index page](http://tgdmb.com/index.php?sid=4876edcf378bd11b9c2480cf33a2c1f2)

Maharashtra Plan Schemes Information Management System (MP-SIMS)  
[http://mahades.maharashtra.gov.in/MPSIMS/](http://mahades.maharashtra.gov.in/MPSIMS/)

There are also a number of link farms using the term, banally.

**ugly** , that’s beautiful.

And feel free to call me **6y**. All part of our seedy relationship.
