It was you that said perfect analogy and drew your own conclusions, differing from mine; it's like arguing whether the bottle is half full or half empty. There's no point insisting with this silly discussion, it doesn't help php so please cut it out.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
