If that's the meaning, why is it pronounced DOO?
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

Too embarrassed to ask in the Conga board  :-[

Noun
A Latin American dance of African origin, usually with several people in a single line, one behind the other.

Dan used this term for the conga lines where forum members can get in line to receive a penny from the person before them in line and then they will pass on a penny to the next guy once their account is enabled to send payments.

I was pretty confused at first. Once the initial thread went up for people to get the penny, i figured it out. Pretty clever.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.
