To be in a chatroom, but not speaking. Originated by ClaudeMan in davedays chat. http://davedays.com/?page_id=24 Usually without warning (no brb or ttyl).

The safeguarding of Earth and other worlds from biological cross-contamination (i.e. billionaires with too much time on their hands).

Also known as “planetary protection.” Planetary protection / quarantine “reflects both the unknown nature of the space environment and the desire of the scientific community to preserve the pristine nature of celestial bodies until they can be studied in detail.”

There are two types of interplanetary contamination. Forward contamination is the transfer of viable organisms from Earth to another celestial body. Back contamination is the transfer of extraterrestrial organisms, if such exist, back to the Earth's biosphere.

Usually entering a chatroom, and not saying anything. At random, rare moments, they say useless and somewhat ridiculous comments such as 'I love you' and 'O baby'. Originated by claudeman in Daveday's chat. The reason for Claudemoments is unknown.
