It was most certainly not to appease the ego of JQ.
(I doubt anything in the 'Verse can appease something so huge - neither enough disc space on Haken's server(s) nor enough time in the day to type)
I coined the term to mock JQ and his somewhat tyrannical insistance upon 100 posts being the absolute thread limit. Now that it's become too popular, I regret giving it even the tiniest bit of time it took to think of it. Ah, well. *shrugs*

Good morning folks. Mindy and her husband pulled in this morning at 2 Am. Their son was very happy to be out of the car so no one went to bed until after 3:30. Oh well. Busy weeks ahead. Short timin' it today.
The funny thing about the mandate is the implied humor of Jonny being a dick. Of course I say that with all the love in the 'verse Jonny. But the implications of satire is sometimes too great.
On the brighter side members with dial up or crappy high speed (of which I may be a victim of) can access threads and not get left too far outta the loop.

Speaking as a victim of dial up, I love the mandate.
