Your explanation deserves to be in the FAQ.

Maskman -

Collectively, BORG is any of the big box home improvement centers that
resemble the BORG (short for cyborg - a melding of robot and human or
other
species) "Cube" space vessels in "Star Trek the next generation" - they
come
into town and assimilate (read: wipe out) the small, medium and sometimes
large local hardware/lumber/home improvement stores. Also specifically,
Home Depot as an acronym Big Orange Retail Giant.

You have been assimilated.

Or just repeated twice a week, since that's about how often the
question is asked.

Oh, wait... someone would have to actually read the messages before
asking right?

Yep: "nah!"

I'd agree there; that's the best explanation I've seen.

And I'd say it's high time Leon's explanation of left-tilt vs. right-tilt made
it to the FAQ as well.

Maybe David could explain to us how this all works.

And what of Gary Robson's FAQ at http://www.robson.org/woodfaq/ ? That thing's
never gonna get updated again, is it? It's nice to have a FAQ in a static
place, but how useful is it if we can't update it?

Not until someone formats it properly. ;~)

Guys,

Borg added to mini FAQ

I did a quick search and didn't find Leon's explaination, anyone care to
point me towards it?

Thanks,

David.

Every neighbourhood has one, in mine, I'm him.

First reference to Borg, Nov, 98. And it stuck. At the time HD was
expanding and closing out hardware stores and lumber yards with
agressive price matching policies.
