if everyone knows it, it's not an in-joke anymore, it's just a joke...
for example, cake and naveencc pre-date me, so i don't make jokes about them, although it's reasonably clear form context what they are... (cake is a desirable commodity, people will accept it for "favours"; naveencc was a prophet who the people here did not appreciate in their love for Chief/Fegan and their stellar work on Ashes13. He was crucified (banned)... but has not been resurrected so far, meaning he is not quite Jesus and CaptainOz/Kasabian21 can rest easy.)
