Tsk, tsk... FoRK newbies!

*All* FoRKees know that the official pronounciation is:

chutzpah-wuh-wuh-wuh-zent-dot-dub-three-dot-erg

Also, the official FoRK position is one of awe toward Tim Berners-Lee for
his signature contribution to computing: the first acronym that's longer
than its expansion...

Seriously, in the early days, the New York Times wrote a piece on how to
pronounce http://www and they actually called us. Us bein' doofuses, we
never answered their calls, so my chance at glory for promoting three-dub
was lost to a quote from LCS's *receptionist* defending "aich tee tee pee
colon slash slash".
