Re: how to pronounce POI?

POI rhymes with "boy". I believe it stands for "Poor Obfuscation
Implementation".

Hope this helps,

It is also a pun on the Polynesian food - Poi - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poi_(food) - which requires a lot of pounding to prepare.

What I just learned from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poi is that Poi is a Tibetan word for Tibet.

Dave
