Psssst, posting goofy crap doesn't make one... coo-wuhl...just dorkish.

I'll admit to being lazy. And also to being cryptic at times. But I'll never admit to being coo-wuhl.

BTW, military is famous for it's use of acronyms as shorthand, but IMO it wasn't until texting grabbed the imagination of teenagers that internet shorthand became rampant... AFAIK.
