What does SO* mean? I see it a lot here at Hatrack, and it is driving me crazy. On top of that, is there any Interneteze Dictionaries I could look up for quick referencing of commonly used symbols?

I think that it's a hatrack meme coming from tons of people starting threads like "So, <insert phrase/sentence here>" that they started putting * to make fun of the fact that they do that. Or something. You know, it's a question that I've always been not completely sure of the answer myself.

So* , its like an Internet Shakespeare all inventing new words (or in this case symbols) from old ones.

So*, I was writing an e-mail to rivka, and started it with "So*." I think I've had a bit too much Hatrack lately. I'll be more worried, though, if I start doing it in e-mails to people who are not from Hatrack... [Angst]

Pfft...it stands for Space Opera, obviously. I swear, the hero worship from people around here really puts a lot of pressure on me.
