Ex Nihilo - a reason?
Does anyone know why this section's so called? The phrase ex nihilo is lifted from Lucretius' "The Universe" in which he repeatedly asserts "ex nihilo nil fit" or "nothing can come from nothing".

Is there an intended reference here to this? Just intrigued, nowt mo'.

You'll have to ask Nous Poetikos/Mimesis for the thinking behind the 'out of nothing' forum title, though she abandoned this place a long time ago, for reasons unknown...
