I would guess that redpatti searched for "abbreviations" or "lingo" and being new, didn't notice the date. :)

[Krazy Kruizers]

Looks as though the "search" feature is really working tooooo well.

Think some of the New Posters are using the search engine..These theads just don't pop up on their own..

[kelly94942]

At least new folks are searching rather than asking the same questions over and over again! ;)
