I got the insect connection right away, first time I saw it. I didn't even realize that it was specific to Hatrack, it was just so intuitive.

But then again, I'm special.

We need to come up with a nickname for the OSC-disillusionment phenomenon, wherein people who have loved his books for years are stunned to figure out that he's not a liberal, and start threads to tell him how very wrongheaded he is, in the hopes that he will finally see the light, thanks to their post, and possibly start up a correspondence friendship, and also get them published, all out of gratitude.
And he'll buy them a pony.

The thing about coming up with new terms is that it has to be almost unconscious both in the invention of the term and its acceptance.

You mean you haven't gotten your pony yet?

It doesn't DO anything. That's the beauty of it.
