so, um... what do we call ourselves here?
« on: March 15, 2005, 02:40:27 AM »
let me know if i missed a thread on this subject already, but...

presumably we're all highroaders at the moment, but one day, we may not be... and as members of this armed polite society, we need a simple, catchy nickname.

Are you one of those TAPS guys?
You're a TAPSter, aren't you?

Hmmm, sounds right. I like the rings of TAPS.
