win big points with my easy questions
Ooops, sorry, forgot there is no point system here. But the questions are really easy.

1. I often see "nt" at the end of subject lines in replies. What does this mean?

2. And LTTE?

3. K and R. R must be recommend, and K is for Kick. But what does kick mean? Is it another way to say bump or top?

Thanks.

1. nt = no text, as in there is no main message, just a subject.
Kick does indeed mean bump to the top. Answering a post is sufficient to do this.
I don't know what LTTE means.
What does IBTL mean? (or some such)?

3. I love Wiki...
IBTL is a common Initialism representing "In Before The Lock" used on Internet message boards. This statement is a reference to an inflammatory or off-topic discussion which will soon be "locked" by a board moderator. A thread that is locked can no longer be replied to, thus ending the discussion. It can also be "IBL+1" denoting the first post on such a thread, and so on.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBTL

I have these saved on photobucket if I run into that type of thread...
