    Nearly

    12 stands for the number of minutes it takes to return a query.

    "M" stands for "Majestic", and the 12 is AtW's 12th attempt to get it right.

    FTFY (although to be honest freebie customers are often more annoying than real ones).

    As for what the 12 means, 12 was the magic number of links appearing on the first page of a google search query. That's not the case any more but changing the name is probably a bit too much like hard work.

    Just think of the 12 best posters on CUK.

    I mean the very best.

    Ok, you got the list?

    Then it would not be it.

    I'd rather debate global issues like AGW with sasguru, DimPrawn and MarillionFun combined...

    I need another job - might just become IT contractor...
