I "got" Simon's post right away. In a reply to the list I defined "pwns" a little too formally. And I suspected the "lamers" part, but I've been criticized for using that word in other contexts in the past. Once bitten, twice shy, I guess.
Maybe Ross can describe exactly what should be printed on the ringer tee? That might help me understand the irony... :-)

Ross,
It isn't that I didn't get it, it's that I thought it was a pretty
silly post. But it does seem to have generated a lot of discussion, so
what the heck do I know?
