Posting over at Samizdata, Natalie Solent writes
I am fully aware that the disclosure I am about to write may cause outrage even among people who think of themselves as absolutists when it comes to free speech. I must apologise in advance to Perry and the others who have extended me the hospitality of this site for what may seem to be an abuse of it. I realise that there are some people who may think that, having said in public what I am about to say, they can never associate with me again. Forgive me. I feel I have to say this.
The rest is in the extended entry. Don't click if you're easily disturbed.
Don't say I didn't warn you:
"Mornington Crescent" is not a real game. The rules and strategies you hear quoted by players are made up on the spot. Its only purpose is to have a laugh at the expense of those not in the know.
There.
The secret is out now.
More (much more) information can be gleaned here, here, and especially here.
