Thanks writesbad and thanks Lie-i K for the play
I can just see the point of hot-doggers being a term for show-offs, but dot hoggers being point controllers? Is that not really too obtuse? I tried to look up dot hoggers & got nowhere. Surely Dean Mayer could be a bit less esoteric? Do you think he ever reads these posts? :-)
point = DOT, controllers = HOGGERS 'cos they're hogging whatever
