For someone who dislikes JLUG so much, you certainly seem to be quite aware of
our CTOPs. Why would you bother going through all the trouble of looking them
up if you didnt like JLUG from the outset?

The use of CTOPs on JLUG is so prevalent that I found it impossible to evaluate
the content without knowing what they meant. But the JLUG FAQ has a link to
Richie Dulins secret decoder ring (which
is hosted here on LUGNET, BTW) so it really wasnt that much trouble to look
them up.

I think I have only used CTOPs when writing in response to people who profess to
be JLUG grokkers. When commanding my minions of micro-felines, I must
communicate in a series of meows, purrs, pops, and clicks. When conversing with
JLUG grokkers, I find it easier to use their shorthand. Chalk it up to
intellectual laziness on my part if you must.
Not really. Ive learned the hard way to do my homework before I make a
purchasing decision. And I certainly plan to buy less of their product in the
future.
