[quote name=\'Matt Ottinger\' post=\'225630\' date=\'Sep 10 2009, 11:05 PM\']I'm not sure why we adopted the weird spelling of 'fanboy', but we're using the term in its standard definition.  Wikipedia says "highly devoted and biased in opinion towards a single subject", and that's pretty much it.[/quote]

[quote name=\'Mr. Brown\' post=\'225648\' date=\'Sep 11 2009, 12:54 AM\']For all we know, they sent a mass email out at the office saying "Go and test this site before we throw it up on the Internetz!"[/quote]
A slight amendment to your comment, Mr. Brown.  I've seen the site.  They didn't throw it up on the Internet, it threw itself up all over the Internet.  "Cleanup on Aisle Common Sense"!
