**Shodan** , **Bryan Ekers** , given that I bitched at **Q.E.D.** for his initial “Tldr” post, it seems only reasonable to ask that others not follow up with similar posts. Please refrain, thanks.  
[/QUOTE]

You’re right, of course - my apologies.

But **Bryan** - I got the FO part of FOBTSP, but the rest is an impenetrable mystery.

Regards,  
Shodan

[QUOTE=richnz]  
**Bryan Ekers** - you’re a coward.  
[/quote]

Yes, a coward who posts under his real name. Clearly I live in constant fear. And there was nothing hidden in my use of “troll”, unless you’re assuming that T.R.O.L.L. is an acronym. I’ll forego speculating on what it might stand for.

The meaning is actually quite mundane but it’s a borderline board policy violation for me to explain in detail, so I’ll explain it to anyone who asks privately. Well, except you, because I believe you _do_ understand it, and if you don’t, I don’t care.

Huh. I’m guessing it’s **Shodan’s** enemy list: “Friend of Bill? Troll? Sock Puppet?”
