# and this
Hello new person. Please read our FAQ. Cheers.

# IMHO
I find the wikipedia entry explains this place to a "T" and goes a lot further than the FAQ (and it's a better read too).

# wow
i'd never read that. i particularly like the formality of this bit: "cliché links are often referred to being "glasscock", named after the famous image of a female golfer kissing a glass trophy, which appeared to be a phallic shape due to the camera angle. This image was so ubiquitous at the time that it is thought that virtually the entire of the B3ta community had seen it, hence the name."
i think it's the word 'ubiquitous' that does it. so polite.

# it is a nice article
although I can't help feeling that a description of b3ta ends up becoming a definiton of the place and that somehow undermines it

# To define this place undermines it?
That's an odd opinion.

Anyway, the reason I prefer it is that it:
1. Give a good flavour of what goes on here including historical info.
2. Describes how to avoid incurring the wrath of B3tards.
3. Explains the rules.

and there's noting to stop us updating it either :)
