So what is our point?

The stuff in quotes on the home page are fun, if rather exaggerated, examples of the communication-style perpetuated by the type of person whom we say dwells in the "b0ll0cksphere": the world in which "David Brent-type" people live; a world permeated by jargon and buzzwords

As in, one moment they are saying "a, this thing" and "b, that thing" then suddenly switch to "3, another thing". We think this is another example of a b0ll0cksphre type situation, hence our list. Please note, having Asperger's Syndrome means I love lists - so I am not immune to this verbal list format problem myself and get teased rather a lot about it! ;-)
