for the acronyms suggestion - reading them / trying to parce them makes my eyes bleed. Although I do appreciate the HHUDSIRR acronym from rpg.net tangency discussion/flame wars, although it is not appropriate here.
The thread merging is merely competent board adminstration.
On another topic, over lunch I saw a guy playing blues trumpet on a crowded downtown pedestrian street - slouched against a building, a hat pulled over his face.
He provided the absolutely perfect city ambiance. I wonder if he is a ex-New Orlenes resident, we had about 500 here right after the Hurricane, some of them prolly settled here.
What are your opinions on street musicians?

I dislike them, though honestly, not so bad as many others who are looking for money. I HATE people who come up to me asking for money [or even to purchase a bus card for cheap; I always think they're trying to pull something on me], annoyed by those standing at the corners with a sign in their hands [mainly that started when an investigation brought forth the fact that they actually make quite a bit of money].
Compared to these, musicians aren't so bad. They thank those who pay, but don't look down or make snide comments to those who do not. Could be worse. Could definitely be worse.

I like the Tangency acronym, ISTTKO. It generally occurs in thread titles only.
Fine by me, assuming a certain minimum of skill and that they aren't too noisy. (How noisy they can be is proportional to skill.) I've given spare change to good ones before.

QFT.
I hate Mariachi I hate them with a passion. There's something pompous and irritating about a group of street musicians who are all in costume and working a crowd for tips. Sure they don't get mad if you don't tip, but you know they are thinking ill of you when they give you that smile even when you don't give them money. Instead, I give them my ire especially when its a group of mariachi which were hired to entertain at historic plaza/landmark and decided to wander up to my table when I'm eating outside at a cafe/restaurant...
Even worse are the free roaming Mariachi in Mexico and elsewhere in the American south west. But at least those ones you could avoid, unlike the Mexican Restaurant mariachi who park themselves at your table or near your table.

What no filler story about a lost puppy that could predict the future in Aruba while it's tied to a water closet in London?
