I thought IIRC is a subway line thru Brooklyn?

Or perhaps the International Internal Revenue Code?

Or I Is Roman Catholic... a religious statment along with WWJD (World Wrestling for James Dean).

WWJD
This might not be the appropriate forum for this, but I just have to say that this fad irks me more than quite a few others of late (and that includes Ricky Martin and that stupid sunscreen song). What Would Jesus Do? Well, I know what he wouldn't do...he wouldn't use his name and image to hawk keychains and t-shirts and bumper stickers and jewelry....

Funny story I heard: A customer, after examining some piece of merchandise emblazened with the "WWJD" slogan said, "Well, he wouldn't pay $12.95 for this!"

I can't remember where I saw the instructions for using the message board. I want to know how I can get to that section again...
I was trying to actually copy a members comments and paste it into my comments when I post a message?

Thanks

Thanks for your help saying the top right button explains how to put another persons reply, quote in my reply. But I am sorry I printed out the FAQ's although I did not see instructions how to paste another person's answer in my reply.

Can someone out there help me?

Thanks
