Three newbie questions

Hello, I've been lurking, and there are 3 things that I need to find
out in case I look stupid if I start posting....

1. Is there a FAQ?

2. If not, is there a list of some of the acronims used here? I
recognize a few, but there are some strange ones....

3. Can anybody recommend some websites relating to the space shuttle
program in general and specificaly to possible design faults
responsible for accidents?

Thank you!

There's a couple you won't find on an FAQ. CT being a descriptive term for
Conspiracy Theorists (John Maxson etc - recommend killfiling the Maxson clan
now!) and The Collective which includes CT and also trolls which show up
from time to time.

There are a number of people here who don't engage in the crap spewed
by that bunch of insecure emotional two year olds known as "HORS", and
you know it. Hooking up with a gang of abusive, overage delinquents
isn't a viable alternative to agreeing with John Maxson.

I can't honestly say, from what I've read and seen, that I agree with
John, but it'll be a cold day in hell when I associate with HORS.

I think you miss the point. All it takes to be a member of HORS is a
nickname from John.

So even many of the "reasonable" folks here are members of HORS.

Your own personal insult-spewing (such as that posted above) is why
you're a resident of many a killfile.

Do you have any reason why the "Human O-Ring Society" (a term
essentially coined by JTM in the first place) even exists? Perhaps you
ought to explore google before casting additional stones.

So after you become a "member" then what Greg? I think *you* are missing the point.

Is Katz or D.A.D. a "member?"

....And neither are Maxson apologists like you. Which is why you're on
the recommended killfile list since your first 48 hours since you
popped up on here.

In other words, the only people worth listening to are Maxson
supplicants?

....Apparently in his mind. With this one statement, Stephen's proved
he's nothing more than a Maxson sock puppet, and a voluntary one at
that.
