[6] : Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001)

bob n. at demon internet http://www.demon.net/, all tech support
   personnel are called "bob". female support personnel have an option on
   "bobette". this has nothing to do with bob the divine
   drilling-equipment salesman of the church of the subgenius. nor is it
   acronymized from "brother of bofh", though all parties agree it could
   have been. rather, it was triggered by an unusually large draft of new
   tech-support people in 1995. it was observed that there would be much
   duplication of names. to ease the confusion, it was decided that all
   support techs would henceforth be known as "bob", and identity badges
   were created labelled "bob 1" and "bob 2". "no, we never got any
   further" reports a witness.

   the reason for "bob" rather than anything else is due to a luser
   calling and asking to speak to "bob", despite the fact that no "bob" was
   currently working for tech support. since we all know "the customer is
   always right", it was decided that there had to be at least one "bob" on
   duty at all times, just in case.

   this sillyness inexorably snowballed. shift leaders and managers began
   to refer to their groups of "bobs". whole ranks of support machines were
   set up and still exist in the dns as of 1999 as bob1 through bobn.
   then came alt.tech-support.recovery, and it was filled with demon
   support personnel. they all referred to themselves, and to others, as
   `bob', and after a while it caught on.there is now a bob code
   http://bob.bob.bofh.org/~giolla/bobcode.html describing the bob
   nature.
