Ya know, I never thought of it (the acronym) that way, but that's a very
decent angle (1) as well -- and very closely related to SNOTs as pieces, to

Perhaps a better acronym would indicate an aversion to stud-oriented thinking,
or an aversion to their placement. Brainstorming for a better word...

But I like SNOT. There's nothing wrong with the word, IMHO. And Barbara
points out that without snot, none of us would be here. :-,
