This is a normal post he also called their recommendation engine "the magic donkey"
which was something I thought up once so I didn't have to answer to anyone when I made editorial decisions. "It's not me, it's the magic donkey."

Not sure exactly who thought up "woo/yay" but it was a catchphrase of mine and Joel's student flat in, god, 1992, so it remained a feature of our speech when we started doing early b3ta/rathergood stuff together nearly 10 years later.

The board DID add the hoopla bit.
