Heh, if LGC caught on, it'd probably slowly become second nature-- at least to
the things you were interested in seeing. But I have to agree, it's very
intimidating at first glance. Lots of symbols and wierdness floating around.
Now, what would be cool would be if Lugnet caught LGC (in, say, FTX or
something), and parsed it out in a popup window, link, or mouseover or
something, with a quick footnote explanation of Geek Code and where to
make/translate it yourself.
