Are you kidding? Nothing out of the ordinary here. Sakura posted her *first post* last year (yay!) under the subject heading, "Rinky-Dink Philosophers." The year before that (1999), Stephen suggested "some of the Rinky-Dinks" might like something called Auto-Dave.

But actually, I Blame Darien. Who else? Kaz! claimed Sam was the first to originate the term, but Darien retorted (and if memory serves me right), I quote: "No, Iss was the first to say 'Rinky-Dinks.'" But I have no idea which Forum Post of Issachar's it is that Darien is referring to. It's from before my time.

Hah! So prove it, my dear!

Wolf "Besides, Sam says 'Rinky-dinks' is the term he likes himself, so that should settle the usage part, notwithstanding Travholt, right?" spirit
