Clueless

I think I know what OP (Original Post?) stands for, but what is PEP?

Please help me keep up with the times.

And remember kids, falling behind can happen to anybody... even you.

Pep is Pserendipity's signature - a short version(ish) of his name, that's all.

I thought it was name of frequent forum resident.

Yeah.. that too

And there I was thinking it was some cool new thing.

I'll just take my cocoa and sit quietly in the corner while you kids have fun.

Really. I won't be a bother at all.

Ooh! Since we're asking questions ... what does QFT mean?

Quoted for truth. Although I like "Quite F***ing True"

Yay! You're my favorite, thanks!

Hey Alvaro, are we related?

Nope. I'm some cool *old* thing.

Pep (Hey - I am the answer to a Residents Answers question! Does that make me [in]famous?)

I just learned about a week and a half ago that IBTL = In before the lock.

Actually, since advertising isn't allowed in this forum, I can't tell you that (capitalised) it is an acronym (not *just* an abbreviation - you all *do* know the difference don't you?) for Pserendipity's Enhanced Profiles, my nascent business venture (well, it has been nascent for almost two years now) providing advice and consultancy on the improvement of profiles so that you either meet more of the people you want to, or fewer of those that you don't. Send me an IM for a notecard with references from escorts whose trade doubled overnight, from reluctant virgins who were deflowered before their subsequent suitors got past Pick #1, from wallflowers needing dancing partners who had to buy new skins the next day because their legs were getting worn down, from people who couldn't tell the difference between its and it's, who won trivia contests just by consulting the information held in their *own* profiles . . . the list of grateful clients goes on and on - as do I given half a chance!

Pep (I have never charged anyone yet though; is this a defect in my business model?)

To me, PEP means people exchanging power.

When I first started here I thought it was for "Quit F***ing Talking!"

That's even better.

Heheh I Thought QFT meant .. Quit F***ing Trolling

Silly me

Like there would be any point in ever saying that.
