In regard to the meaning of Gaffa, I believe that it does have a real meaning
outside of KBland, since I remember seeing it recently somewhere.  I am
surprised that IED (in his usual pseudo-intellectual fog) chose to believe
the term was derrived from gaffer.  Any self respecting symbologist would
have more lucidly chosen the word gaffe which refers to social blunder
and the following of such (get it, feet of mud, sentementality or remorse,
suspension in Gaffa).

I don't know why I'm responding
