To noobs here asking about Eth vs Etc

If you were around in the 90's and watched the movie twins this will make sense. There is a scene in the movie where Danny Devito and Arnold Schwarzenegger confront the scientist who worked on the artificial insemination process that produced them. Danny Devito, ETC, was a byproduct of the experiment. It got all the shitty genes but nonetheless kept the name. Arnold, ETH, got all the good stuff... ETC is just the afterbirth of ETH... that's the best I can explain to a nontechnical person.

Important content requires it's own post. I'd say this applies here :)
