    Thanks for having me!

    I'm a bit saddle sore after a posse came after the MWC thread in another town..

    Thankfully we found another ranch to hang our hats!

    Big shout out to all the IWL creators for setting up the site..initial look and it's growing nicely!

    Has any thought been put into a suitable *** to replace WIS

    Thanks all!

    AFAIK "WIS" means "watch idiot savant" and has nothing to do with "that place that must not be named".
    Oops, almost forgot - welcome!!

    Cheers, Sedi

    Oh, I knew what WIS meant, I always figured it originated at WUS and was a play on that...

    Wis is actually accepted as a Scrabble game word -therefore is considered as a word with meaning , other than just an abbreviation - apparently derived from an olde English word meaning 'to know ' or similar - so belongs to all of us !
