Thanks. I coined the Necrophoamin thing a couple of years ago over on the TO website to kind of label my explorations. The term upset a few of the TO elders as, well, "crude" I guess.
My response is that perhaps the more sophisticated terminology for what I'm doing would be "Industrial Archeology", but either way, you're not gonna get laid.
oops... crude again!
