I read most of the posts but didn't see this: How can someone "buy back" if they didn't won it in the first place? Dean

Some of us don’t use “three letter acronyms” as much as others. So, if it is at all possible, please define them in the first usage to help us old guys. PLS define TLA's LOL Thanks, Dean

I read a lot and don't post much. I've always felt comfortable here. Dean
