The Meaning of Window Messaging

Happy New Year, 7DC, The Year of 7 December Crashes!

This morning a revelation came to me about the deep meaning of WM_xxx messages. Based on the reflection theory that humans mediate star influence on software behavior we interpret WM as Woman-Man relationship (or Women-Man, Women-Men and Woman-Men in case of multicasting). This organically and naturally explains many messages such as WM_ERASEBKGND and WM_PAINT. Looking forward to your own examples of woman-man send and post messaging!
