Explaining OPML. It's tough. I've tried.

Alex Barnett helps us get OPML, pointing to Jim Moore's post on the joys of distributed directories. Alex ends up not exactly throwing up his hands, maybe throwing up just one hand, by saying what I've said here about OPML: "Well, you'll just have to try it."

Why have I never until just this moment isolated the "throwing up" part of the expression, to throw up one's hands.
