[Scott manley]

I thought the term 'Ogging' came from Nettrek originally, not nethack

> One of the things that struck me immediately about the OGG vorbis codec and
> the OGG project in general were the names.  When I was browsing the 2
> websites some time ago, I failed to find mention of the relevance of either
> of these.  Since names often have some significance in the opensource
> movement and these are somewhat unusual, I was wondering if someone could
> comment on on OGG and Vorbis in particular?
