Good post. I agree that the newbs will come on confused but it is our goal to get them on track.
I like the idea of "raising to shock level" except that it's more text than I'd like to enter.
It does convey more of a process than an event, tho, and that's an important issue. Many newbs think that shocking is a one time shot and are puzzled when their pools aren't crystal within the hour!
I would agree with using "bringing to shock level" but, even if we can't decide on that, I think we should (very politely) correct the newbs when they purchase "shock" from the store and, for sure, make sure that none of the regulars respond with "What brand of shock did you buy?"
BTW, you only owe $20 bucks and you could just send it to me....I'll forward it to SeanB later
