About IRTNOG.ORG
What's in a name? An early love of Reader's Digest and an adolescent reliance on Cliff's Notes. (And thanks to Robert Snafubar, the truth can finally be told!)
The letters "IRTNOG" come from an E. B. White story, where people stopped reading books and started reading digests instead, and then digests of digests, and then super digests where a 500-page novel was cramed into a few short paragraphs. Finally, some enterprising linguist devised a mathematical formula that would condense the entire intellectual and emotional impact of a book into a single word. It spit out the word "Irtnog" when he ran a day's worth of writing through it, and the word "Efsitz" for the next day's. Of course, by this point in time, no one was reading real books, and a utopia began....
When a "cool" domain name was required, we were able to beat all other E. B. White fans to the punch and register this one in September 1999. (Although some luser grabbed the ".com" and parked it. What an ass.)
