Thanks Jim and Tony for answering my query.
In this day and age of texting and shortening our language, I had not come across this, but it is good to know. My grandchildren email me using 'text-type' (which I hasten to say I do not always understand at times either) but I've never seen this in their mail, so now I will be able to use it when replying to them. They'll either think I am 'cool' or a silly old ***** no prizes for guessing which. ha! ha!

My grandkids like to use ROF&LOL . Which they say means roll on the floor and laugh out loud . . .

Some links who might be useful to translate the modern "language":

as I recall Nigel has had to step in and delete his posts in the past for breaking forum rules on flaming and insulting behaviour etc. Obviously the irony of exactly who is showing the massive ego is completely lost on him

Hey, this is not normal behavior for this forum, the people here are mostly on the gentle side. I come back often just to get a taste of the people who post here.
Sooooo, let’s let this one slide and get back to norm.

I think this shows that we don't take kindly to outsiders coming in and disturbing our gentle nature. I didn't post, but I have to admit I flared a bit, myself.

I Didnt Post either.
But as far as i can see no-one was an outsider ,all members.
I hope all were happy being able to air there views.Theres been worse on this forum.
But its called debate or whatever.

Happy Playing.
