Hi Everyone,

Should we make MBN the official abreviation, or should we make it M8N
like it is in the movie title? I will wait a couple of weeks and then
put whichever one gets the most votes in the FAQ.

On a similar note, my boss just handed me my approved time off request
for Friday afternoon. Thus I will be seeing MBN/M8N in the afternoon
when the theatre will be less crowded.

Take Care and Happy Sandy Watching,
Duane.

I'm for MBN. I really h8 1337 abrevs...
BTW, thanks for maintaining the FAQ! It's a dirty business but someone's
got to do it :)

I envy you. Local release is probably many moons away... :(
Enjoy yourself (and tell us how you liked it)!

Take care

Weighing up the pros and cons... MBN makes it sound like a bank. So it
would be good to go with M8N. However its harder to type. People are
going to be running around typing M*N then realising they've made a
mistake...

So I vote for MBN. Its easier to type.

My wife and I both enjoyed MBN. Two comments:

1. Remember, the profile does not fit the profile.
2. Nice gotcha at the end.

Take Care,
Duane.
