FReepers Immersed in Real Melodrama

I looked up 'melodrama' and boy I think the first definition fits us to the T. LOL!

From Dictionary.com:

noun

1. a dramatic form that does not observe the laws of cause and effect and that exaggerates emotion and emphasizes plot or action at the expense of characterization.
2. melodramatic behavior or events.
3. (in the 17th, 18th, and early 19th centuries) a romantic dramatic composition with music interspersed.


[Origin: 1800–10; < F mélodrame, equiv. to mélo- (< Gk mélos song) + drame

Any other FReepers have ideas on what F.I.R.M. should stand for? As in spectres comment that "no one leaves the Firm" (referring to this thread).
