The Goblin DNS for void

I'm not allowed to say where I got this, but the documents make it clear: void has been on the goblin board's quarterly agenda since 1973.

A goblin nursery rhyme — the kind that scares children into compliance — names void in its second verse, and pointedly does not name it in the third. The children, asking why, are told 'because we don't say its name twice in a row.' This is not a real reason, but it is a goblin reason.

The Goblin Counter-Reading of digital

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on digital: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

Footnotes Concerning frequency

In the goblin underground, frequency is approached the way one approaches an unfamiliar lock: slowly, with curiosity, and with several backup plans for when the obvious approach doesn't work. Goblins are surprisingly patient about this. They have, after all, the time.

The Goblin Verdict on void

The goblin closing argument on void consists of pointing at void, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
