Or ABM.

Added because I need it for my blog. Also, because it’s everywhere in the Land of Loon, much like kudzu.

For a recent example, consider Joe Monco’s FUD post regarding the delectable Katherine Noyes’ sudden obsession with the cat-loving but dissident-unfriendly Russian Federation.

Don’t we have this TM already?

Wait there is a tm already. Your late to the party bro. :/

Where? I tried to find it on the usual search and failed miserably. I’m no big fan of duplicates, y’know…

1234swordy might be thinking of AnythingButMicrosoft™.

The admin already made this TM. (The search system isn’t very helpful when searching for exciting TMs :/.)

Anything Anyone? They pretty much mean the same thing.

Hmmm. Somewhere there my apology got lost. Here it is again:

(1) Tried Anyone, search fails.
(2) Tried Microsoft, search comes up with two pages. As we know, only the first page displays.
(3) Facepalm didn’t try the entire TM. This is pure idiocy on my part, but in partial defence, I will point out that the drop-box on the search doesn’t act the same way as the drop-box on the “include TMs.” Embarrassing Facepalm nonetheless.

So, two things. Firstly, I apologise, and I appreciate the non-slashdottery of all youse’s comments.

Secondly, I’ve posted what may very well be the first bug report on TMR to Admin (eighteen months, and we still haven’t got round to the BiannualForcedDeathMarch™!).

It’d be unfair to expect TMR Admin to fix this any faster than the average Ubuntu bug, which means we might have to wait until, say, 2015 … the nub of the bug report was that there’s a list of pages for a lookup, but only the first displays. Which ain’t good for a word like Microsoft.

Actually, now I come to think of it, typing the entire phrase in wouldn’t have helped — but I apologise anyway.

Incidentally, a little dustbin to delete erroneous posts would be nice, too. Just in case Admin is out there and has a couple of days to spare.
