I suggest the moderator place a skull and crossbones symbol next to the thread title so that when innocent people are driven insane by opening this thread, they won’t be able to sue. ---

Welcome to the SDMB, **bballkingnyc** , if that is your real name. You are about to come up against what is called a “learning curve.” In your case, it will involve nobody opening a post of yours again for about two weeks, if you’re lucky. Don’t take it personally. It’s just that you’ve just proven yourself, by definition, to be an [idiot](http://fathom.org/teemingmillions/idiots.html). Again, nothing personal. The only reason we all know this about you and you don’t is, we’ve been here longer and have already gotten over our learning curves. You’ll get over yours, and you’ll be better for it. Take care and be well. ---

And to think I was about to answer this question. Do a search for “third word” or “gry” and you’ll find lots of threads where people got this treatment and worse. If you look in the archives, you’ll find the answer to this question. Doing a search is probably your best bet unless some kind soul (kinder than I) decides to humor you. ::is waiting for the “driveway/parkway” question next:: ---
