Newbie question
I've been a DUer for a week or so now, and I haven't figured out a few of the abbreviations. LIHOP? MIHOP? N/T? Can't find an explanation in the FAQs.

Please be gentle with me--it's been a hard week.

3. Welcome, Pagerbear!
Here's the unofficial DU glossary site:

http://www.SeattleActivist.org/DU-Glossary-AA.html

N/T simply means "no text". A variant is NM = "no message". For use when the entire response can be contained in the sub line.

LIHOP stands for "Let It Happen On Purpose". It stands for the idea that Bush & co. had foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks, but "stood down" to reap the political rewards. MIHOP is a variant: "Made It Happen On Purpose".

4. I'll be gentle
:evilgrin:

LIHOP - Let It Happen On Purpose: People knew something was going to happen, did not stop it

MIHOP - Made It Happen On Purpose: People did something to start an eevnt

N/T - No Text: The person's thoughts/views are in the subject line only; also use EOM - End Of Message
