2. Thanks for the welcome!

Thanks for the welcome, Supernova. Perhaps this group will enjoy the story of how I got/adopted the "froshty" port of my "froshty1960" nick. I used to belong to a single parents' forum and it could get quite political. Back in 2000, before the election, a person joined who hated Clinton, loved Bush, and claimed she had a Ph.D. and that claim was her reason for making outrageous, Rush-inspired anti-Clinton statements. However, she wrote in all lower case, she misspelled most of her words, and she butchered my name so much that I was forced to ask her if she wrote a dissertation to get her Ph.D. or did she take orals instead. My friends loved that and started using their favorite of her butcherings: froshty.

3. I'm glad you said that!

I was thinking more along the lines of the corruption of the nickname for "freshman".... "frosh"

Misspellings and bad grammar seem to be a characteristic of the The Right, somehow. It is guaranteed to get laughs at DU. :D

edit: spelling. :eyes:
