Greatness of drivel

[Sunetra Saha]

I go through javaranch daily while at work and seldom chanced in this forum. But one day I did - and I am hooked to it. Whenever there is a stupid problem at work, or I am bored, I find myself coming back to this forum - I am almost addicted to these hilarious posts now.
Perhaps the veterans here can give us a brief history of this forum - like whose brainchild it is etc.??

OK, but who came up with Meaningless Drivel specifically? I think that's what Sunetra Saha was asking. I'd like to know too. Was it an original forum of the ranch or was it added later? Before or after the merger with the electric porkchop, etc?
Thanks

Paul was abducted by aliens and the result of his post dramatic stress syndrome has been meaningless drivel. It is what helps him to live.
