Oh, that. Thankfully, I arrived on usenet after it went out of fashion.
Champ on the other hand, is older than me and should've known better...

You may laugh, but I was asked a question "in an email from a lurker":
"What", she asked, "Is all this rotb stuff?"

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.
