        Are the following sentences exactly the same in meaning?
        If not, how different are they from each other?

I wouldn't distinguish any ofthem.

         1) TBBOM (Graham)

The Big Book Of Mischief.  An underground publication on home-made
explosives that I once picked up by accident thinking it was on making
firecrackers, because Ed Vielmetti advertised it in his comp.archives
postings as coming from rec.pyrotechnics.  I am no doubt in several
organisations files by now, for having fetched it by ftp...

         2) Jug o' warm spit (Graham)

The value of the vice-presidency

         6) Yahoo Serious's aunt/Tandy's bag (Carolyn)

Yahoo Serious is a brilliant young actor who has often been compared
to Einstein.

         7) To symlink (Sue V.)

What the ln -s command does on Unix. (Say, did *anyone* not realise
who 'Sue Vanderlul' was?)

        15) Three-inch John Henry (?)

Add this to your collection of euphemisms for sexual organs.  Or in this
case, sexual piccolos.  It was an example of obviously camp humour probably
made by a closet homosexual... we still haven't found out which one, but
there are plenty on this list to chose from...

        17) "The Lord of the Dance" (Graham)

A hymn sung to the tune of ...

        18) Parker Brothers/Clue (Joan)

Same board game as Cluedo. For people who need a clue.

        21) Dodge Geezer (Graham)

Was a typo for 'dodgy geezer', ie dubious person.  (Dubious in a 'close to
being criminal' sense.

I can't think of what they can possibly be called other than "sutra"s
(in Sanskrit) or "sutta"s (in Pali). I thought that all of the Buddhist
suttas were in the Sutta-pitaka, but of course I was only going by the
name.

I don't know where it came from, that's why I asked.  But I'm a

Should these votes be kept secret?  Is coercion a risk?  Or are open ballots

Such a MasterBake I could make.  Everyone could send abh or Natalie a
picture of him/herself, which could then be included in a message in such
a way that each one takes up one screen.  As the pictures appear on the
screen, everyone could pause in their daily (or nightly) activities and
think intensely about the spirit/soul/karma/etc behind the picture.  And
for those of us who are gif-impaired, Tushar can draw likenesses of
everyone which will be included in an alternative message.

And those of us who don't make it to the Croning and the SalmonBake will
vicariously attend as we read the various WHTMATSB/WHTMATC.

Hmmm... Barbara is working on a project involving cellular radio modems.

question may become: is the Portland bake site within cellular range ?

"I like to verb words."
"What?"
"I take nouns and adjectives and use them as verbs.  Remember when
