Remember meaning now, Luke?
Actually I had not opened this email yet, but as long
as he is not out fondling kindergartners it matters
little to me. I don't text, and don't speak text, usually
ignoring all those acronyms or whatever they are.
Have we discussed it before? Is that what you mean by
"remember now"?
Rhuby is always Altogether Freakin' Kool.
A fistful of knowledge (or Knuckles)
Aerobics for Koalas
Aerosol fly killer
A French Kisser
or...
Away from Keyboard
Rhuby is always Altogether Freakin' Kool.

I don't text Rhub, so you've got me.
YCLIU Luke.
Txt speak is also known as Netspeak amongst social networkers.
many of these internet initialisms predate texting - I started seeing them when I first began frequenting USENET forums, which predated internet forums such as this one (this would have been during the 90s).
"Usenet is like a herd of performing elephants with diarrhea. Massive, difficult to redirect, awe-inspiring, entertaining, and a source of mind-boggling amounts of excrement when you least expect it."
— Gene Spafford, 1992
Like you say, a precursor to UBB.
I'd used terms such as WYSIWYG and GUI and HUI as well
I wonder if some of them even date from the days of the BBSs? nah, probly not..
Those days when what you saw wasn't what you got! Sheesh! The dark ages.
"This word processor is WSYWYG!"
"IT IS?"
"Yes."
"WOW!!" *with awe in the eyes*
Not LOL, but ROFLMFAO. (Whaddya make of that, Luke?)
I don't text Rhub, so you've got me.
But surely you will remember now, Luke that AFK =
Away
From
Keyboard!
You have come across it before.....when wofahulicodoc said it recently.
And its not to far to figure out that RTK means the Rhuby has returned (to keyboard)
As I teased Luke with ROFL...., knowing he doesn't speak text, I probably deserve to have
Rhuby's Too Krool
YCLIU Luke.

Oh, well, no loss. I am not a social networker either, rather
read a good book. But thanks, Olly.
A. has been told that when connections get slow it is from WWW pipes being clogged with LOLcats. Could be just the fur.
Tell me, Aramis; is that 6 x V or 3 x W - or a graph of Western economy over the last 50 years?
