I have heard people talk about them. But as is typical, those conversations were between users who already know what they are, and so the posts are not of much use to someone who does not know what they are for in the first. No complaint, just my reason for asking rather than trying to guess meanings of posts from searching the term.
So what are they, how do they work, and when should I mess with 'em?
The wiki is not updated on this topic. But I do check the wiki all the time now... There is tons of info there that was not when I started on TG, so thats really nice!
Thank you.
