I had a moment of utter blankness, so I requested context. "You know, when the words don't mean anything but everybody seems to understand them". Baffled, I was. "They call it ROTB, but I thought it was polite not to shout so I called it rotb" Light dawned. I passed on the enlightenment ... in the course of another six or so emails before I got the message across. -- SIRPip : B12 |
