Welcome to you, jpsharber (I worked with Det. Louis Sharber here some time ago--a fine officer), and also rkerstie of a previous thread, as well as Casey-Canada and BlanchePatch.
I don't think it matters which time, past, present, or future, you're referring to: it's still a theory. Whether it's a prediction or not, I can't say--it depends on what you're positing, I suppose. I don't think you'd call it a prediction, if, for ex., you said you expected to learn that the Allies lost WWII. But if you say you are attempting to verify certain data that shows the Allies won for some specified reason, you could predict that the data would prove your theory. Or am I way off course?
For you, and all other newcomers, my friend:
to make a new post, go to the index page for whatever category you want to make the post in--in this case, Q & A. This is the page that lists all the current threads. At the top right-hand side of the list, you'll
see a few golden icons. Click on the one furthest to the
left, that looks like it has light rays in it, and voilá.

"Frigidaire" was,some years ago, almost generic for "refrigerator" as was "Post Toasties" for dry breakfast cereal. Both have now faded into relative obscurity. Generally, of course, manufacturers/producers are pleased when their products are so widely known, but when the trademark, e.g. "Kleenex", appears, in common public use, to be substituted for the type of product it identifies "tissue", it may threaten the trademark and may cause problems for the IP lawyers of the trademark holder. However, one never hears of any such complaints from the the Sales/ Marketing Departments of those companies.

Since this hasn't really become a different approach to the same issue that it looked like from the beginning, I offer this link: http://wordsmith.org/board/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=words&Number=17038This is also a test to check URL posting protocol. ('took me long enough  )

to make that a link, you should've typed this: [.url.]wordsmith.org/board/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=words&Number=17038[./url.] (but don't include the periods around the url and /url; i only did that to avoid actually creating a link.) you'll note that the typing of "http://" is obviated by the link process, which automatically includes it. you do, however, need to type the "www" if it is part of the original address (which, in this case, it is not). hope that makes sense =) http://wordsmith.org/board/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=words&Number=17038
