Quoted from LesManley:I think he was joking. There have been many threads with people jokingly questioning what a "MOPLE" is. Most people abbreviate it METLE since it is a Metallica Limited Edition and there are not multiple limited editions like AC/DC, so there is no need to specify the LE version in the abbreviation. The METLE can only be the Master of Puppets version, where AC/DC could be the Back in Black or Let There Be Rock.
I would like to defend the "MOPLE" acronym by saying...if there is only one Metallica LE, why did Stern feel the need to give it the name "Master of Puppets"? Why not just call it the Metallica LE, just like they did Tron LE? Since they went to the trouble of calling it "Master of Puppets," with an art package to match the album, we should respect that by using the MOPLE acronym.
